i caught 6 sm yesterday that went 25lbs & 9ozs -the 5 best were 22 lbs 3 ozs . i believe the F&F has been blown up as the cure all for s.m. bass fishing, not all sm do the same thing at the same time . i have fished for smallmouth for over thirty years & i have caught plenty of sm on the F&F but i stand by what i said it is not agood method for me in tournaments. each year is different & you have to figure out what they want & where they are at,the alewives in our area lakes have had a impact on sm bass locations. so keep throwing that fly & believe that all the sm in the lake are at that depth you have the fly at, this year is agood example of that , if you enjoy F&F fishing thats fine but you will not win many tournaments with it. jmho
