Went out to Downs for the day. Right off the bat I caught a small mouth bass (7 inches) using a top water lure. Stayed in that spot for another 30 mins and had no luck. We moved and I managaed to get a tiger trout using a bait fish lure which went down about 5 feet. I then switched over to a jig and plastic worm and hooked a bass but lost it trying to net it. In the evening I switched back to a top lure and caught a 2 pound large mouth. Was a pretty fair day.

Sounds like a fair trip to start the reports on Downs with for the year. Did you try to catch any of the Jumbo Perch in there?

I will admit that I noticed that, but in all honesty, it didn't bother me. I am seeing SMB showing up in places I did not see them before this year, and it can be hard for some to tell a SMB from a LMB when they are small (no hit jjyoung86, it takes some experience). It is a shame we did not get a picture, but I don't think it alters the value of the report, it just tickles our curiosity.

You guys are most likely correct. This is my 2nd year of true fishing and I find LMB and SMB are one of my hardest to tell apart. I am going out again today and will get some pics
