Smallmouth bass fishing on the South remains great with anglers reporting high catch rates and good-size smallmouth. Until we start seeing cooler river temperatures, this will remain a great place to catch bass. There is no bag limit or size restrictions on bass captured in the South Umpqua.
Pools may develop algal blooms as the warm water slows. People and pets should avoid ingesting water in these areas.
