Went to the Russian River from the 21st-25th and did a bit of smallie fishing about 3 hours each day. Used Chartruese and White grubs, Small arkansas shad colored rattle traps and mini jigs. Mainly produced on the gurbs and cranks.
Fish caught:
2 trout
20+ smallies
2 green sunfish
many squawfish!
All fish were caught between myself, my cousin and my dad.

My trout this one was really small about 7"

My dad and his smallie
Overall I had fun never fished river smallies and boy do they fight. I had one chase my grub 5yards while I was reeling in quickly. I even had some baby smallies the size of my lure follow.
No pics of the Squawfishes or Green Sunfish all were caught on grubs though.
