Upper Rappahannock River Smallmouth Fishing

Welcome to another episode of Ho0ked on Fishing!
With your host Kaptain Krunch!

**SPOILER ALERT - There is some decent Smallmouth fishing in this video but it is long and the catching starts after the 14min mark. **

Today's adventure was in April of 2022.
I went Spring wade fishing for Smallmouth on the upper Rappahannock River in Virginia, a few miles east (downstream) of Kelly's Ford at a special location.
The air temp was 75+, but the water was still cold.
I didn't measure it but I am guessing upper 50's to lower 60's at best.

I hope you all enjoy this adventure with me.
There will be much more to come as the weather continues to heat up here in Virginia.

Thanks for watching and please subscribe and thumbs up if you enjoyed the video!
