float n fly

Smallies relate less to cover and trees in the winter than largemouth. Around trees and brush you are more likely to catch spots or LM. Trout will hit it too. I have caught them at Dale while reeling in the fly.

I agree with that for the most part. However, as with most anything else, there are exceptions. I've caught 4 pound largemouth on the main lake, on a bluff, relating to nothing more than a small cut in the bank. My biggest FNF largemouth did come a laydown but my biggest Spot was just on a bare deep drop point. I also caught a smallie the other day around wood.
So like with any other lure I fish, just fish as much structure (points,bluffs,coves,drops,wood,bank changes,etc...) as you can.

fishing the same depths as you would for smallies (8-15 ft as i read it)? i fish nolin and barren more than anything so finding deep structure and cover isnt really problem. i've only tried float n fly once and caught a buttload in a really short time so i think i just happened into a time and place where they were feeding pretty heavy and they were really shallow. sorry for all the questions just trying to learn something new.
