What are your favourite flies for smallmouth guys? Woolly buggers of course are in there, but the question I have is do you weight your buggers with lead/nonlead material or not? What other flies is everyone using for smallies

 

[Christopheraaron]

I really think you should take a look at the TFO NXT, I have an 8wt of theirs and it's a pretty good rod for the price, you can test cast mine if you want.

 

[Christopheraaron]

Grayer: there are lots of good flies for them, buggers, stoneflies, ep minnows, clousers, any baitfish or crayfish imitation really.

Murrays Hellgrammite.

Poppers and mouse patterns are probably my two favourites for bass, smallies or largies

 

[Christopheraaron]

Hey madoc if you want an amazing mouse pattern pm me!

 

[Madriverfisher]

I read an article the other day about trying mouse patterns when trout fishing I don't remember much about it but I'm gonna use them more not just for trout but as Madoc said bass and I'm sure they might work for pike as well

ooooh yeah babay!!!!!!! topwateer heaven on the FLYY!!!!!!

 

[Dozer]

I'm still trying to get a brookie on a mouse pattern...

 

[Christopheraaron]

Ya if any of you are on OFC search Mike B's sutton river report, man I reaaalllyy want to do that!

I just picked up a bunch of mouse patterns to try out this year. I have never tried them, I don't know why as they are effective here. I will be trying them on rainbows and on grayling. I came across a picture somewhere of a grayling with a huge mouse pattern fly in its mouth. Since I do an annual dry fly fishing trip for grayling I will test out the mouse pattern on them. Can't wait for this season

 

[Christopheraaron]

Wow, those must be some big grayling! Everything I've heard about them is to go small.

 

[Madriverfisher]

I want to try skating mouse patterns for spring steel and resi browns

 

[Christopheraaron]

I bet if you try that in the shallower more ever grown pools in the headwaters of certain rivers you'd get quite the response

 

[Madriverfisher]

I have a few ideas on where I want to try it I got to put this new 4 wt spey through it paces

 

[Christopheraaron]

There's on fairly tight, pristine east steelhead creek I think they may work on

Why would you go to Sail when you have at least 3 fly shops within 45 - 60 minutes of you.
