Time for smallies?

[Hairstacker]

Well, with spring right around the corner, there are usually a few threads on this board right about now about chasing after smallmouth bass, as evidenced by this thread from a couple years ago:

What say you, anyone else with smallies on the mind? I was thinking I might have to hit the Tuolumne this year -- never checked it out before but have heard they're in there. I'm hoping the water will be slow enough to be able to row my inflatable kayak up as well as downstream.

What about you?

What say you, anyone else with smallies on the mind? .....What about you?

Nope , never .

Smallmouth are for savages . Any self-respecting FFer will be fishing tiny dries on Bamboo for real fish , like Trout ...... not those horrible , nasty , non-native , trashy , warmwater creatures .

Oooops !! Gotta go to the cleaners and pick-up my tweed jacket ........

Smallies? We don't need no stinking smallies?

[TaylerW]

[Hairstacker]

Yes, of course, David the purist:



And Scott, whose smile shows how much he hates these things:




Where's Ed? Ed, did Matt ever accept any of your "services" to show you the creek where he caught this one?:

After hearing some great reports the last few years of late winter/early spring Smallie fishing, it's been on my mind for about 3-4 weeks now. I'm chomping at the bit, can't wait for these streams to calm down some.

[David Lee]

We still have a while to wait until most streams open .......

I have those stupid Bass on my mind year 'round .
