Last winter I read somewhere that 75 percent of a smallie's diet is crayfish. I had just finished up a great fall season with over 20 smallies in the 17-20 inch range. Caught most of them on clousers. I tied up a variety of crawdads and was pleased with the way they looked and acted in the water. Trouble is that I didn't catch nearly as many big fish this year as last. The flies I had my most success with this year was a wooly bugger (probably could be considered a crawdad imitation) and a black leach. The stream I fish the most has a TON!!!! of minnows of varying sizes and while there are plenty of crawdads in the stream they are way outnumbered by minnows. Any thoughts or theories on what to fish would be appreciated. Had low water this spring and the fishing was decent, then had a couple of weeks with high water, then normal and then a month of high water and it continues to be running high even now.
