Flyfishing river smallmouth - 20inchbass - 10-24-2009 I'm going river fishing for smallmouth and walleye. If we get time i want to stop and flyfish for the smallmouth. What type of flies should i use? I was thinking streamers but tell me what you think.

[shocked] I was using leaf worms one spring out on the lake and I was using the strike indicator on the line, It confounded me that the gills wouldnt touch my leaf worm and wouldnt leave my strike indicator alone...[:p] [signature] Re: [peter805] Flyfishing river smallmouth - davetclown - 10-29-2009 eeeoooow, green fish..[:p] lookin good.
