I live in trout country (well on the fringes of it anyways) and love to fish for them. Smallies are also terrific the put on a great fight and a great show. I got out on Saturday to a nice small stream near my Mom's in Virgina. Caught 20+ smallies in about 4 hours on the stream. What a hoot. the biggest were in the 12-13 inch range and the smallest were 3-4 inches. All on the same black and yellow popper. I finally put it into a tree trying to cast under the branches and decided it was time to quit for the evening. A great day on the water.
