SMALLMOUTH YELLOWFISH

Flies to use

Smallmouth normally feed on nymphs that are dislodged from rocks on the river bottom, but will also take hatching insects rising to the surface and also during the stage of wing drying or adult. Most flies commonly used by flyfishermen for Grayling and Trout will also work well when targeting Smallmouth Yellowfish.
