I could never give up trout fishing either especially since I have great trout fishing less than 10 minutes away but if you never fished the White Fly hatch in its glory on the Susquehanna; you missed something awesome. Catching a 16" or larger smallmouth on a size 14 dry fly with a 3X-4X tippet is incredible!

Most of the time I just stand there shaking my head not believing how they fight. And when I see that the fish isn't even 18" or larger; I get totally psyched to catch another.

In the ring a heavyweight trout would get whupped by a middleweight smallie every night of the week!
