I'm going river fishing for smallmouth and walleye. If we get time i want to stop and flyfish for the smallmouth. What type of flies should i use? I was thinking streamers but tell me what you think.

ID HAVE TO SAY STREAMERS..ARE THE BEST FIRST CHOICE...remember there mainlt minnow eaters..match collors accordingly...purple and white is a proven coller combo..also gold and black..wollys are another great choice..work em slow..brown and olive good

Woollys would be my starting place also.

woolly buggers are great. I do well with hoppers too.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]I have tied some hoppers but haven't done any BMB/SMB fishing. But heck at least I'm prepared. This yellow popper is not perfect - but then again I don't do perfect. lol[/size][/#008000][/font]

That popper looks just fine to me[] I have caught
many sunfish on a popper just like that.

I have varied the thickness of the tail & also added some flashabou.

good looking fly mi amigo.. and as they say.. its not how it looks to us.. its all whether or not the fly looks like a snack to the fish.. []

sure puts my popper to shame.

mine is just a peice of round yellow stirke indicater foam rapped around a hook... [shocked]

I was using leaf worms one spring out on the lake and I was using the strike indicator on the line, It confounded me that the gills wouldnt touch my leaf worm and wouldnt leave my strike indicator alone...[:p]
