Can’t wait to fish with you guys in July!
My guy Pat. Just saw ya for the Smallie guide talk at the shop this weekend. Dude knows his stuff.
Sweet video and much appreciated 🙏 I did such a dumb move and bought a couple "game changers", if you can call them that, from one of the big box stores and what a piece of crap, weighs a ton! And doesn't shed any water, maybe a 15wt would cast it ok but idk. Then ya get one of those legit finesse game changers from MRO and wow, total game changer….. Pun intended. Thanks as always MRO
Thank you for going over what line you throw it with, very helpful
If I could have one line for smallmouth fishing on a 7 wt. rod what would your suggestion be? Sink tip, floating, or sinking
What would be a good fly fishing setup for smallmouth ?
When to use sinking line?
awesome,, just awesome..
Thanks Pat for your information,, and yo know Super Keith Haungs tied up this ply like a pro;
we get out as much as possible on the Elkhorn, and we use articulation flies, and no my flies are not near as nice as his
No cray patterns? Why?
Question what weight rod should you us for these streamers
What weight line are you using with those large flies?
What is the best fly rod setup for the flies you use. I just bought a 9' orvis 6wt and I strictly want to smallmouth fish , how should I set the reel up?
Pat, great video. Solid line-up of smallie flies. Quick question: do you do anything special after an outing to dry out or extent the life of your big streamers like this? Thanks!
Love it, love it, love it! Thanks for the insight Pat. Definitely going to put those to use.
Great video 👍. Luv the new Game Changer flies 😲
Great list of patterns. BTW I love how you attached your mic — very Hank Pattersonesque.
Not even a mention of the clouser minnow! I guess we all have different preferences for flies but I was surprised not to see a clouser in the mix.
Awesome!
Thanks for watching! What are your favorite smallmouth flies?
Every fly you pick up at http://www.madriveroutfitters.com directly supports the channel 🤙
Literally, my favorite fish to catch in Virginia! I actually picked some of the flies mentioned in the video when I visited the shop in person for the first time over Christmas break. Thanks for more insight!!!
