Synopsis of Class
Many people think the best time for smallmouth fishing is when temperatures fall and the water clears. This is because smallmouth become very active in the fall feeding on bait fish and minnows fattening up for the winter. The water is usually lower and clearer in the fall. If you get out on the water right before the leaves start to fall you can see smallmouth chasing minnows all along the banks and around riffles and rapids.

A couple of weeks ago we tied up some smallmouth streamers that are productive in the fall.  After getting numerous requests for MORE streamers we will be tying up the following four streamer patterns that are also very productive in the fall (and spring as well) for smallmouth.

In this class you will learn to tie three very productive streamer patterns. They are the
