This is the time of the year when it is super fun to wet wade in warm water and catch lots of smallmouth bass. This day was no exception for that case………

It is so much fun catching mass numbers of fish like this....
These fish will take anything from poppers on the surface to dropped nymphs through the water column.
See you another time.....
The nymphing can be very successful with white rubber legged patterns. It is easy to see them get eaten and the fish love that color as well.
Once more slab....
Some pools require the nymphs to be dropped and then re-drifted; while other spots can hoax the fish with small strips. It takes a little code cracking for each spot, but once you figure it out; you can rack in the numbers.
What a handsome fish!
The fish fish very well, and they are super aggressive when you present the flies to them the way that they want it.
Steelhead nymphs work very well also.....
Just remember to adapt and to not use one method or one fly. Change it up, and change up your techniques and you will catch many fish.
When they are like this, they take a while to get in.
They are very deep bodied fish....
The red eyes are very cool looking!
Show us that grill with Mr. Wiggles hanging out
Those rubber legs again...
The trophy sized ones put up a serious battle!
Nice profile....

What a nicely colored fish with gorgeous red eyes too!
One of the many.....
Bonefish flies work well!
This was the cookie cutter nice fish.
It's all about white rubber legs for "drop nymphing"
Two at a time...(and quite often)
So many of these...
Smile!
They do catch airs (especially when they are big)
See you later....
