Looking to start working over the local smallmouths (local lakes) with a flyrod. Anybody got any tips on flies to start with and any other equipment or tactics to suggest? Thinking clousers off the rocky points is probably a good place to start. Smallmouths over 5lbs in some of the local lakes. Biggest I have personally seen was 5lb 8oz on a good scale (released). Typical fish are 1-3lbs. On my bucket list is a 5lb smallmouth on a flyrod!
