Spring Time at Conowingo Reservoir: Smallmouth Bass on the Move 

#conowingo #bassfishing #smallmouth
I filmed this video mid-April 2024 in the upper reaches of the Conowingo Reservoir.
This place is pretty dangerous:
There are three independent dam/spillways that empty into the reservoir.
There are areas with STRONG currents going from 10' deep to 110', then back up to 6' deep, creating giant chaotic upswells that can knock you out of your boat if you're not ready.
There's vast expanses of seemingly featureless water, but with rock outcroppings just under the surface that will destroy your outboard if you hit full speed.
There are whitewater chutes that will suck you into no-go zones between the islands where you can get stuck with no way out.
And then there's the area where the river current meets the big reservoir waves, sometimes clashing and threatening to capsize your boat.
So.... Be careful out there.
