Maximum Size: 8
Instructor: Ian Anderson
Cost: $10.00
Synopsis of Class
The leaves are falling and so is the temperature.  Many people start to put away their fishing gear as the fall moves on but don't put away that smallmouth equipment just yet.  Fall is one of the best times to fish for Smallmouth Bass (my favorite).  Swinging streamers in the cool clear fall water is one of the most effective ways to get connected to a large smallmouth.  You can catch smallmouth all through October, November and December.

In this class you will learn to tie four different flies that can be very effective for fall smallmouth.  You can tie these up in various colors to match the particular weather and water conditions you are fishing in.

The flies we will tie are,
