Hello,

Have a few months to go yet, but fun looking forward to it.
Live in Eastern Mass. *Like to fish the Quabbin Reservoir and Deerfied.

Read that Crawfish are good for Smallmouth Bass. *True ?
What other species like them ?

If so, how are they fished ?
On the botton ?
Do they come weighted if this is the way to fish them ?
What sizes ? *Styles ?

Any hints or thoughts would be most appreciated.

BTW: *haven't been flyfishing for quite a while.
What's a "good" low cost source for mail order flies these days ?

Thanks,

Woolybugger in the darker colors in size 1 or 2. Since the are
generally tied weighted, fish on or near the bottom, preferably near
rocky structure.
