{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Smallmouth bite at Fletcher's

The last few days have seen a flurry of smallmouth along the VA side of just above Fletcher's.  The bite has been best near low tide on pumpkinseed/green tube worms but anything in these colors fished near the bottom will give you a good chance at a nice smallie.  They are schooled up and seem to be feasting on shad fry and crawfish.  I have seen several fish chasing bait to the surface but haven't been able to hook one on topwater yet.

Today was the best bite so far.  In two hours I hooked 10 smallmouth over 15".  I only landed 6 but at least I got to see the other 4 as they jumped and threw the hook.  Since Monday I have seen four 17"+ smallies on the end of my line, the biggest being 19".  It's been a good week...

There are a few pics attached.
