99.98% of the time your going to catch trout out of Pleasant Valley, I have however cought a few Smallmouth Bass in the dead of summer on the dam side, and have seen a Carp here and there. What you may have seen was a Beaver although it would have been much bigger than a Bass but I see them all the time swimming just under the water there.
I've never heard of or seen a smallie in PVR. The farthest north I've seen them is just below Tinemaha Res. That doesn't mean it's impossible, but I would be very surprised. There are definitely some nice largemouth in there though..I'll be damned if I can figure out how to catch them though.
A spawned out perch would look a lot like a smallie - I was sight fishing smallies today and can assure you that they look very similar in color, markings and shape when in the water....my money is on a perch sighting even if you don't think so.

I was at pvr last weekend at the power plant end, and there was very little water. som places only 10 feet wide. I was the 2 weeks before that, lots of water and a 9lb 2oz limit
I actually do both. Lately I would guess about 70% on the fly and 30% on the spin. When I'm tubing lakes, often times I will be driftin around Trout worms with my spinning rod in a rod holder while I work my Fly rod(s) in hand. I'm not one of those fly guys who believe a fly rod is gods gift and the only way to fish. I believe there's a time and place for different applications depending on the situation.
5 more days to go and counting....I can't wait! The weather is not looking to great but oh wells, we'll manage. We always do! I personally don't mind fishing when it's snowing, raining, or when it's really cold. I just absolutely hate it when the wind starts howling though!
Good luck to everyone making the trek this weekend! Drive safely and tight lines to all!

Team Brown Eye will be at opener for our 14th consecutive year. God willing, I will be posting the same thing 20 years from now. We will be on Rush and Silver (from a boat) for opener. We will be at the Tiger Bar Friday night drinking ICE COLD water. If you see us, stop and introduce yourself. Good luck and safe driving to everyone.

I think this would have been #15 for me. String will be broken. New job, 2 new kids and my oldest (13) will be playing in a softball tourney in Hemet this weekend. This is good news for the rest of you. More fish for you guys.
Be safe., Fish on!
