Smallmouth Bass Streams Fly Fishing Report - May 10, 2023

Smallmouth Bass Streams Fly Fishing Report - May 10, 2023

The smallmouth streams are in beautiful shape and we have been doing well on both the North and South Fork of the Shenandoah River.  Chartreuse has been the color this week.  The Murray's Marauder in Chartreuse size 6, Murray's Magnum Chartreuse and Murray's Magnum Hog Sucker size 4 have been very productive.  Fish these on a Bright Butt 9ft 2X Leader. 

If you need help on access to either the North Fork or South Fork of the Shenandoah River, stop by the fly shop or see my book Virginia Blue Ribbon Streams.  I would still recommend chest high waders for the next few weeks.
