Hi all
I have a great little warmwater stream fishing hole near my house... absolutely packed with redbreast sunnies and bluegill. like hundreds.... splash a popper down and you can;t count to 3 before it gets hit hard.
They provide plenty of enterntainment for me and the kids, and are fun to catch ... to a point.
I have suspected for some time, and confirmed today that there are some decent smallmouth in this same water. level was low and i was wet wading it and saw them cruising past.
I tried a few things today (mostly clouser type crawdad) but just can't get the smallies to take an interest in anything i throw their way, and the sunnies hit everything so aggressively anyway that it is nearly moot.
Any tips for times of day, presentation, fly/streamer types likeley to target the smallies over the sunnies?
Also a nice carp in this area too.... for what its worth.
will take non-flyfishing recommendations inbto consideration as well
