May 2021 Fishing Report

In the May Fishing Report we highlight the new state record fallfish in addition to a respectable trophy smallmouth bass from our online angler recognition program. Alex McCrickard, DWR Aquatic Education Coordinator, demonstrates how to rig and fish a swimbait on the Staunton River below Leesville Dam. Learn why it’s effective for a variety of different species. Also, Alex discusses walleye biology and the feeding behavior behind this unique fish that calls the Staunton River home.
