Smallmouth Time is right around the corner. You could catch them on this moon but I think 18 degrees is a bit more than I am willing to put up with for a fish. March moon should have them ripping in Reservoirs and rivers. Anyone gonna chase them this year? I have a trip planned to Pickwick for the first time that I am looking forward to. Other than Pickwick, it will be Fontana, Hiawassee, and all the little hydro lakes around the hills...

Ever tried them on a fly??
I don't know anything about smallmouth fishing, but they look like they would be fun.
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

I know of a great guide that does drift boats on the New River. Let me know if you want the name. I have fished with him 3 or 4 times and never disappointed. It's a great float with alot of smallies. He has a website, too.
At least I'm housebroken.

The Shenandoah, Potomac and Rappahannock river smallies will kick off later.
With the flyrod, you'll catch more smallies subsurface than you will on top. A simple woolly bugger will out produce a popper most days.

I hope I will be after them in another month, planning on going to hot springs this summer and possibly another trip to the new river. They have to be one of my favorite fish to go after.

My buddy in west Jefferson says another month they will be drifting for them. We should hook up and join them, we have only talked about it for 2 years now.
I am about to invest in a pontoon boat, for the triznout and the smallies, all I need now is a partner for a vehicle drop. That is tuff!
Rush Chairman
I know it. I really need to get the boat in the water. It fishes 2 flycasters easily with another man on the oars.
