What are some good patterns for smallmouth bass in the lakes? I'm taking my family for a few days of vacation in the Adirondacks(July) and need to know what flies I need to keep the action coming. I have given my best shot at some deceivers to take with me on the trip but there must be some other go-to favorites from the folks here. The other question that I have is, should they be weighted or not? I might have a chance to fish in the streams for brookies and, any pats for them would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
