Yellow River

As a river in Georgia, United States, Yellow River fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Yellow River pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Spotted bass

  When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Redbreast sunfish

  Use light tackle and small hooks, as redbreast sunfish have relatively small mouths; target areas near structure like fallen trees, rocks, and aquatic vegetation.
