Do you want to be a part of an
organization that is working hard to
improve the fishing in your area?

We at the N.B.S.A. believe thru hard work, education, and
dedication, we can accomplish just that. You will become
part of the voice that promotes the education of anglers to
impact the future of Smallmouth Bass in our common
waters. Catch and release combined with selective harvest,
conservation, pollution awareness, habitat restoration will all
help to preserve the resource for generations to come.

How can you improve the "Quality" of
bass in the North Branch?

Smallmouth bass grow very slowly in our home waters.
Most anglers do not realize the age -vs- size relationship of
our local river bass. It takes many years for a smallmouth to
grow to true "trophy" size of 16" or greater. Often it takes 7
or 8 years to obtain this size. These fish are typically the
breeding females. By releasing these larger fish they can
and will grow larger and be there to spawn to continue our
fishery for years to come. Growth Chart
