This video covers a simple and effective technique for fishing boulder strewn smallmouth bass streams. By using a foam diver combined with a short sink tip and fluorocarbon leader, you can hang flies above structure and entice fish out of hiding and into the net! The simple set up is listed below. I hope this helps you when targeting smallmouth bass on the fly rod and If you haven't already, please subscribe to my blog and YouTube channel. Thanks for watching and tight lines!
Leader Setup
1.) 5-10 ft. sink tip - *Dependent on water depth
-most small stream applications can be covered with a 5-6 ft. sink tip
2.) 4 ft. of fluorocarbon line - 10-12 lb. test
3.) Diver fly of choice
