So much fun on a fly rod.

Lefty Karen’s favorite freshwater fish was the smallmouth. Maybe because living in MD, those were quite plentiful near him. I understand that smallmouth are a tremendous freshwater fish. If I had them in my neighborhood I would certainly target them.
That is really cool. I’ve tried to get trout on a mouse pattern and it really depends on time of year. Early in the year I can do it. But after about July 1, won’t happen. And I fish a lot in September, which is late season for us, so I’m using eggs and flesh flies.
If you’re going to talk about fly fishing, you need to talk about the rod - brand, length, weight, etc.
