    Default Finally! A smallmouth

    Finally caught a smallmouth on a fly rod. Maybe 2 lbs and fought like a mutha! Caught on a 4wt. What fun. Pic to come .....if my friend sends it to me
    Man, can those suckers dive! Jumping is impressive but the diving is unreal!
    Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.

    The same size trout would have been nothing to land. This guy dove about 10 times and jumped about 5 times. I had no control over him when he dove.

    Congradulations on your smallmouth! Do you own a Navtive Ultimate Canoe/kayak? If so, what do you like and not like about it?

    Oh dear, I believe that we have another addict. Fortunately there are no smallmouth bass in Middle Tennessee...

    P.S. Don't let Betty see that post.

    Might want to start packing a 6 wt on that river...as the summer warms up the bigger fish get more aggressive.

    A nice size smallie, some swift current and a light weight rod don't always get along!
