The 2nd and 3rd day of fishing with Tom and Judy required us to endure some pretty hot summer weather. Day-to-day differences in behavior of the smallmouth kept us on our toes as well. Typically, the smallies can always be found on the woody structures along the river, but day three found player fish positioned on rocky banks only. Another key change along the way was reducing tippet size to the poppers; this really seamed to make the biggest difference to our successes. Both Tom and Judy through their 3 day adventure made strides in there fly fishing game and brought some nice fish to hand. It was a pleasure to host them on their trip and I look forward to seeing them next June for some dry fly fishing.
