wow. Could you imagine that fish on a flyrod?

Pardee Reservoir is a top Smallmouth fishery.

Chuck Campana who works at the shop on Sundays told me that in the spring he fishes for them up the main tributary arm off the main lake.

Actually, many of our Valley reservoirs have good Smallmouth populations.

Pete Peterson got one over 7 lbs. outta Pardee .

Whit's Deep Sheep Bluegill was the fly , if I recall ......

Any Smallmouth over 4 lbs. on a fly is worth buyin' the house a round over !!

Man, what an awesome fish! Yep, I agree David, a fish half that size would be a thrill.

I would be tickled with one half that size.
