current status of Smallmouth bass population in Tulloch ?

15-20 years ago I used to fish Tulloch quite a bit and it was very common to catch SM bass . There are no recent fishing reports for Tulloch so I thought I would ask . Both New Hogans and Camanche used to have fair populations of SM bass but after the spotted bass were introduced it had a detrimental effect on both SM populations.
Seems to me one of the last times I was on Tulloch we were catching spotted bass . I hope the Smallmouth population at Tulloch hasn't also been destroyed by the spots. Anyone know the answer ?

Biggest one I caught there this year was around 2.5 lbs. Caught several smaller fish (usually under 12") but now that you mention it the SM population seems to be on the decline. Most of the fish I catch are largemouth. I fished several of the Wed night tournies and I can't remember very many smallmouth being weighed in.
