Comment on Choosing a Flyrod for Smallmouth Bass by Dalton Ma

It would be a good to keep varied fishing rods to target different fishing situations. The main reason for this is that it helps an individual reel in more fish. Should the incorrect fishing equipment is being chosen, hits will likely be even more difficult to detect, and therefore fewer fish may be hooked

I really love fly fishing. The reason I love fly fishing is that it requires a certain skill to get it right. Another thing about fly fishing is around here where I live, nobobdy hardly does it. My favorite fish to catch are Trout. Great post.

Hey Bill, read your article it was great. I’m strickly a wader and love walking the rivers of WI, MN, MI and IA. I bought a Tarpon 160 a few years ago and had it rigged out to the max, but I only have used it once as the “wading” thing has become my addiction. If you know of any one who may be interested in a “mint conditon” “like new” Widerness 160 Tarpon with everything on it (fish finder, rod mounts, rudder, anchor, custom built heavy duty beach wheeler, pads and rollers for car rack, paddle, “Extrasport” semi dry paddle pants and jacket with tags still on, ect) Let me know.

Hey John,

Do you know anything about the smallies in Kangaroo lake? I will be spending the weekend there in a couple weeks and was wondering if I had any shot at catching some bass.

Thanks for the article!

Brian

I like patterns with some red on the underside. That’s my only preference.

Every lake has it’s own personality and “hot” structure. When I”m on a lake for the first time, I’ll start shallow in the morning then start fishing deeper as the day progresses and the sun gets higher in the sky. Personally not knowing the water it’s tough to say what to do. If I was in you situation I’d keep it simple..smallmouth love being around rock. Smallmouth will always stay close to their primary forage. ..so Rock+Forage = smallmouth
Again, just playing the odds here. If its a man made lake, look to the feeder creeks. You’ll find rock, current, and forage.

Sylvaneous, it was great water. The second day we hit the Allegheny and it was “off the hook”. We caught some truly big smallmouth. I’m definitely headed back again for an extended trip. I’ll look you up for sure!! I’d like to hit Oil Creek and the Allegheny again. I didn’t get a chance to fish oil creek when I was there. French Creek kept me busy!!

Sounds like you have those fished figured out! It would be great to see some of your trips posted on the forums.
