This means high-quality fishing is available to only a select few who have the money to travel to remote smallmouth destinations like Idaho's Snake River, Quebec's Beuachene Preserve or Ontario Fly-Lodges. "Quality Regs" will mean a chance to finally experience quality fishing at home.
High quality smallie fishing is Available for about the cost of 2 or 3 Dale Hollow trips.

My trips to Dale cost about $150 each........by time you get a hotel, pay gas, pay fishing permits, pay launch fees, etc, etc.....

For that $450 bucks, you can go to the Boundary Waters, or Quetico, and NAIL some nice smallies.......You might not catch a 7 pounder, but you WILL hammer LOTS of 2, 3 and 4 pounders, and might catch a couple 5's and have opportunities on 6's.

BUT I agree, that there is limited smallie fishing around our neighborhood.

Later,
