I read your article on fly fishing smallmouth bass in NB. Well here is the story, i have a freind that lives on the Petticodiac river in Salisbury. I went out last night as it was a calm night and thought i would practice some flying fishing as this is the first year i have ever done it, so i have alot to learn. Anyway his kids had been getting some nice trout out of there in the spring, with the gates being opened now and all and i thought i might snag a couple small ones. Well as i said i dont know much about fly fishing, so i tried a couple wet flies that looked like misquitos and never got a hit at all. So i thought well lets try something with some color, used some sort of black and yellow deal and what do you know, bang, i thought a whale had hit it, come out of the water and hit a ton. I wasnt really ready for so i lost it.
I ended up get a couple small fish which i wasnt sure what they were as i have really only trout fished. I got home and started searching and realized that they were small mouth bass.
Well i ended up getting about 6 different ones and one of them was about 15 inches long. It was the most fun i have had fishing in a long time. They truly do take a fly in a different way than a trout does. The big one i hooked came out of the water a good 2 feet a couple times. Felt like i was saltwater fishing for Mahi..
So needless to say i am heading back again tonight to see what i can hook this time. Great articles on here about all sorts of fishing. Great site.

Thanks
Darren

Cool I grew up at a salmon club north of renous and landed many 12 to 16 pound salmon but what you guys are calling topwater,fishing should be called explosive take on a dry fly. These bass can haul ass on a 9 foot fly rod 8 wieght and pull a kayak 10 to 15 feet before they start to quit!!!! Amazing let,s start tying killer bass patterns to share with THE boys at oromocto lake[me] harvey lake’macadavic;lake,kedrons ETC PS I CANT SPELL BUT I CAN FISH LIKE A MOTHER FEATHER OR
