smallmouth and wet weather

Hi folks, The fishing gods were shining on me once again yesterday as I was able to take my clients out on my boat without getting rained on.  We fly fished on a large body of water for smallmouth bass with the fly rods.  Surface temperature was 61 degrees in the morning with overcast skies and very little wind.  We stayed to shoreline cover and worked large rock points and rocky shorelines.  The first cast of the day produced a 12" smallie on a frog pattern popper.  You never know how the fishing will be from the point on, you could catch a lot fish or not see another.  We fell in between.  We saw few other decent sized bass come to the fly as well as several larger pumpkin seed.  We changed flies from surface poppers to a bright chartruse  subsurface snook fly  and started to see large fish after the fly.  The fish of the day was a egg laden female who measured slightly over 17"  Fly fishing can enjoyed on a wide variety of species is not only for trout.  Our rivers are still high and dirty from 3 days of thunderstorms.  Looks like the weather is going to change and dry up.  In the mean time I will continue using my motorboat for guide trips catching bass and pike.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
