[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 4710836, member: 3172"] I only fly fish them in smaller rivers so read with this in mind. Fly depends on the time on the year. I’ve started as early as March before but you are fishing for 1-2 bites that time of year. They are usually good ones though. I’m dragging bottom with a clouser or some other heavy fly. As you come through spring into summer, move up the water column. I prefer surface flies from May on if I can get them to eat. Otherwise I’m using weightless streamers and fishing them aggressively like a fluke. Smallmouth aren’t picky like trout but I have certain flies and colors I have more confidence in. The fly doesn’t need to be a perfect replica of a particular food but needs to look, sound, and move like something a smallmouth might eat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
