Draggonfly

A popular warm water foodsource, the dragonfly can also be effective on trout when a hatch is about to take place. Hatches for dragonflies peak in mid-july, when nymphs make hteir way to the shore or anywhere they can crawl out of the water.

Wooly Bugger

You can immitate a crayfish by bouncin a woolybugger along the bottom of a rocky bottomed stream or pond by using a weighted bugger.

Black and brown wooly buggers are popular for smallmouthed bass.

Bass Buggs:

Deerhair poppers, which float, are highly effective smallmouth bass flies.

Poppers are fished with jerking or twitching motions as a dry fly.

Make sure to have a few poppers handy to switch to when one becomes water logged.

Fish poppers by aquatic grass, near dropoffs, and by underwater structures such as fallen trees, boulders, and other structures.

A retrieve, pause, retrieve technique, while twitching the fly, can lead to productive small mouth bass fishing.
