When do smallmouth bite under the ice — is dusk worth staying for?
Cold reduces metabolic demand and often movement; it does not prove that bass never feed. Winter habitat depends on the waterbody’s depth, current and oxygen. Some smallmouth studies document deeper winter positions, but those depths are not universal. Do not prescribe one daily feeding window or assume every Canadian lake has the same ice thickness. Open-water late autumn and under-ice winter are different conditions.
