What river was this? Looking to make a trip to the Ouachita mountains to fly fish soon!
@downsouthflyfishing4931Ай бұрын
I’ve caught smallmouth in almost all of the larger rivers (Caddo, Little Mo, Cossatot, Ouachita) and several of the tributaries. Anywhere should be good! My recommendation would be to check the water levels, if it just rained a lot and the big rivers are high, try a creek or tributary, if it’s been dry try one of the main rivers. Good luck!

@downsouthflyfishing49316 ай бұрын
I just use 25 or 30 lb-test monofilament, no bead. Works great for these since there doesn’t need to be a huge gap between the 2 segments. Doesn’t foul that much, and when it does it’s usually due to a poor cast (never done that though ;) )
