I go fishing there about once a year. Last year wasn't to good because of the heavy rainfall so the water was murky. Saw a tent come down the river. Biggest fish was 1.9kg and three small ones under 500g. The bait I find that works the best there is a senko worm and colour is junebug.

There are still super fish in the river.
If you can find nice pools of water below rapids you will find the smallmouths. Plenty of largemouth too.
If you can find some open water and are struggling for bites than throw an inline spinner/ Mepps to cover some water.
In those open pools try small cranks ( my favourite are the silicon Wild Eye Bluegill).
If you are fishing in the weed, bushes, reeds etc then use small spinnerbaits, worms, grubs and poppers to avoid getting hung up.
Often pays to have a small black lead head or Zulu rigged up as big carp and barbel often come cruising past.
Early morning and evenings are magic and the topwater bite is often an option.
Enjoy it!

Here's what I did last March:

If you happen to be staying on the river and have steep banks with dense bush around you, you should try and rustle up a canoe or rowing boat.
Otherwise find the nearest accessible walking spot and go bundu bashing. Just enquire about the adjoining farms - don't trespass, get permission.

Bill Selkirk, I have never known that there are SMB in the Breede River. Next time I go there I will try my luck for that trophy Smallbek
