Join Marvin Cash on The Articulate Fly for this timely Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with guide Matt Reilly, covering the challenging transition period as fall conditions settle in. With water temperatures dropping into the low to mid-60s on the New River, Reilly shares honest insights about targeting large smallmouth bass during October's unpredictable conditions. Learn why big fish abandon their predictable summer spots this time of year and how effective strategies shift as the bug bite becomes more touch-and-go. Reilly discusses the challenge of prospecting in low, clear water, when to push topwater tactics versus upsizing streamers and why sight fishing remains critical when conditions allow. He also addresses the delicate balance of slowing presentations as fish become less aggressive and explains why targeting trophy smallmouth becomes tougher compared to the consistent late-summer patterns. As musky season approaches, Reilly shares his booking calendar and why mid to late November offers ideal conditions for anglers new to musky on the fly, with more comfortable weather and higher fish activity before the dead of winter tightens things up.To learn more about Matt, check out our full length interview.Related ContentS6, Ep 112 - Smallmouth Transitions and Musky Prep: Matt Reilly's Southwest VA UpdateS6, Ep 140 - Navigating Virginia's Bass and Musky Waters with Austin ConradS6, Ep 71 - Adapting to Heat and Low Flows: A Southwest Virginia Fishing Report with Matt ReillyS7, Ep 14 - The Streamer Playbook: Tips and Tactics for Targeting Big Trout in East Tennessee with Ellis WardAll Things Social MediaFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

The Articulate Fly brings you essential insights for navigating challenging fall smallmouth conditions with Southwest Virginia guide Matt Reilly. As low, clear water conditions continue with extended summer-like weather, Matt shares critical smallmouth bass fishing strategies that separate successful anglers from frustrated ones. Discover why stealth becomes paramount when targeting spooky fish in shallow, clear water, and learn specific techniques for minimizing unnecessary disturbances from your boat. Matt reveals the deliberate approach required for effective bug fishing, emphasizing strategic fly placement over rapid-fire casting and explaining how a fish's "zone of awareness" differs from its reactive distance. Get expert guidance on selecting the right cork bug density for maximum attraction power versus foam alternatives, plus tactical advice on when to focus on prime locations rather than covering extensive water. Matt also discusses his transition from smallmouth fishing to winter musky opportunities, making this episode valuable for anglers planning their fall and winter strategies in technical water conditions.To learn more about Matt, check out our full length interview.All Things Social MediaFollow Matt on Instagram.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

While largemouth anglers sight fish bedding bass in the shallows, what happens when smallmouth spawn in 10+ feet of clear water where wind and sun make visual detection nearly impossible? In this fascinating episode of The Bass Vault, we dive into the history and application of the Flogger (or bathyscope) - a cone-shaped underwater viewing device that's been revolutionizing smallmouth fishing up north and on the Great Lakes. Originally developed in Europe for underwater viewing, this 3-foot telescope-like tool with a glass bottom plate allows anglers to peer straight down through the water column, cutting through surface glare and chop to spot bedding smallmouth in deep, clear water. Learn how this non-electronic tool complements Forward Facing Sonar by providing visual confirmation of what you're actually looking at, helping experienced users determine the exact size of bass on beds. While you can't fish and use it simultaneously, and it requires leaning over the boat and plenty of practice, the Flogger gives serious smallmouth anglers a significant edge during the spawn when these bronze backs are holding in deeper water beyond traditional sight fishing depths.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Susquehanna River legend Joe Raymond for an in-depth conversation about his life, his guiding career, and how the river is fishing this fall. Joe has been a staple on the Susquehanna since 2012, building his reputation as one of the most respected anglers and guides on the river.From wading small creeks as a kid to buying his first boat in his 20s, Joe's journey has always led back to the Susquehanna. Over the years, he's developed an unmatched instinct for reading current, locating structure, and consistently finding fish—skills that have made him both a sought-after guide and a proven tournament competitor.In this episode, Joe shares a fall Susquehanna River fishing report, insight into what makes this fishery so unique, and stories from his life on the water. We also dive into his career milestone on September 22, 2024, when he landed the biggest recorded smallmouth bass ever caught on the Susquehanna: a 24-inch, 7.08 lb giant during a Bassmaster Open in Williamsport.Whether you're a fan of river fishing, chasing trophy smallmouth, or just love hearing from the legends of the sport, this is an episode you won't want to miss!Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast Fishing the DMV now has a website: https://www.fishingthedmv.com/ If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.com   Susquehanna Smallmouth Guides: https://www.susquehannasmallmouthguides.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaffw9wogVD4JYlVZiefCGhVhouePJ9SDWFvsQISEC6xHjIkZ-8hAgabLRtIEg_aem_XW0Nwe9K-KUZYjro0N3MNw  Joe Raymond on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susquehanna_smallmouth_guide?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==  Joe Raymond on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7EtHdwBR3QZAsw9AETUq2g  Please checkout our Patreon Sponsors Jake's bait & Tackle website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/Catoctin Creek Custom Rods: https://www.facebook.com/CatoctinCreekCustomRodsTiger Crankbaits on Facebook!! https://www.facebook.com/tigercrankbaits Fishing the DMV Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Arensbassin/?ref=pages_you_manage Fishing the DMV Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/fishingthedmv/?utm_medium=copy_link   #bassfishing #Smallmouthbass #fallfishing Support the show

Last year we sat down with renowned smallmouth bass researcher Dr.David Philipp to discuss what he described as a once-in-a-lifetimediscovery on Opinicon Lake in southeastern Ontario. When COVID-19restrictions limited angler access to the lake during the smallmouthspawning season, something remarkable happened. For the first time indecades, the fish were able to spawn undisturbed — and the resultshocked the science community: record-setting year classes of bass. Inresponse, Dr. Philipp and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resourceslaunched an experimental bass sanctuary management project to protectspawning fish and allow their fry to seed the rest of the lake. Now, one yearlater, the first results are in … and they're just as groundbreaking.Send us a message

In this episode, we sit down around the fire with our friends Jason Cook and Adam Swartz, who made the trek from eastern North Carolina to spend a couple of days chasing smallmouth with us. While the fish didn't exactly cooperate, the memories, laughter, and stories shared made the trip more than worth it. We talk about the joy of just going for it—firing up that trip you've been dreaming about—and how the best part of fishing is often the people standing beside you.Jason CookAdam SwartzGet your Dads On The Fly Merch in our new online store .Want more content?

The Articulate Fly podcast delivers essential Southwest Virginia fishing intelligence with guide Matt Reilly, who breaks down the critical decision-making process every angler faces when conditions refuse to cooperate. Reilly, an expert smallmouth fishing guide with years of regional experience, reveals how flash floods and yo-yo water levels have made this one of the most challenging topwater seasons in recent memory.

Discover when to abandon your primary topwater game plan and pivot to productive streamer fishing tactics in dirty water conditions. Reilly shares specific strategies for choosing water with varied structure when visibility drops, explaining how runs, shoals and ledge systems concentrate fish when flats become unfishable.
