bill - no kidding? but, i thought we were talking about warmwater
fishing for largemouth... still, i have no doubt a good flyfisherman
will do well, and even on occasions catch more...i just believe, day
in
and day out, a good spin or baitcaster will catch more largemouth.
during our smallmouth float on penns, wolfgang - who is a much
better
fisherman than i - caught more small smallies on the flyrod than i
did
on a spinning rod...but i caught almost as many as he did, and i
definitely caught the largest of the smallies that day.

Not sure that's true. I caught only four smallmouth. Rock bass were
another story altogether......got over a dozen of those.

I'd be willing to risk a small to moderate wager on my chances with a
fly rod against a spin fisher for smallmouth under most conditions,
but I think it would be a sucker bet for largemouth.
