I just discovered that the lower reaches of the river I live in has good
populations of small mouth bass.

I suppose my steelhead gear should work for them, but what about patterns?

Anyone have any favorites?


One additional thing about woolly buggers -- try different colours for
your river until you hit one that they seem to like. I've found that
olive might work well in one river system but be only so-so in
another. As an example, multi-tone brown seems to be the ticket right
now on the Grand but purple will work too.

Lately we've been using our light steelhed gear as well but without
decent current, the fly doesn't move well enough to entice them. Went
back to a short single hander, a teeny 200, stripped fast and slayed
'em.
