Fair

The smallmouth fishing seems to get better as the heat rises. Mid afternoon seems to be the best time to fish and it is best to fish deep bouncing fuzzy patterns off the big shelf rocks on the bottom. I recommend a six or seven weight not for the fish but for the flies. All though it is good you need to remeber to be careful of the heat and drink lots of water

Flies: Crawdads, 2-4, Clowsers, 2-4, Woolly Buggers in every color, 4-8, Stayner Ducktail, 4-8
