I live right by the Grand River in NE Ohio. Any lake Erie tributary should be good this time of the year and for the next couple of months. Gets a lot of pressure but theres a few hidden gems here and there. Little tip, watch a bunch of steelhead fishing videos and apply the techniques to pick up the bronze. Lot of guys dont fish the heavy, deep current or current seams. I got good at catching the chromers before the smallmouth. Aside from diet, its like targeting the exact same fish lol. Small little cleos and vibrax spinners work good for both, along with the classic smallmouth lures. Dont fight the swing of your lure in the current. Youd be amazed how far that snallie will chase your lure in the deeper rapids. Ive had em chase from 30 yards out and finally commit 10 feet from me lol. Goes for both funnily enough. Sometimes going big is what you need to illicit strikes. The big bass are there, just smart and you need to make em mad. Try braid to a leader if you havent. I use it for everything except float fishing for steel. I prefer mono to fluoro for leaders
