Went wading on the Root for the first time on Thursday evening . I parked at the bridge on 116 and went up river for a couple of hours. The smallies were responding well to a mepps spinner in the shaded holes near moving water. The fish were running small but the numbers were good with over 20 fish landed. All the fish were released and I had a great time. My only regret is that I couldn’t locate the bigger fish, but that leaves something for next time. JB
