Three Great Fish

Some fine smallmouth rivers have large populations of rock bass, sunfish and smallmouth bass. It is definitely possible to catch one of each on three successive casts. However, they each have a slightly different preference in their normal habitat. The smallmouth bass like the fastest water, the rock bass prefer slightly slower currents while the sunfish like the slowest water. Personally I enjoy catching all three species, but if you are hunting for big smallmouth bass and you are catching only sunfish try concentrating on the faster currents.
