The late summer and early fall is some of my favorite fishing on rivers. Took a friend of mine on Monday. He wants to learn river fishing. He said he has never caught a bass off the section of river we went to Monday. When we left that afternoon we had caught 10 keepers, 6 of which were over 15" and had one that went 4lbs 8oz. I grew up on Green River in Morgantown, KY. I lived walking distance from the boat ramp and didn't fish ANYWHERE else until I was in my late teens. Once you learn how to fish river systems for the bigger fish, they are a blast.
