Here in West Virginia we like to keep things simple when it comes to our smallmouth fishing. We don't complicate things by bringing out the fly rod. We use light tackle spinning rods equipped with no more than 6lb. test. Then we get a sine net and mattock and head down to the shoals and catch us some hellgrammites, for those of you that don't know what a hellgrammite is, let's just say they're like ribeye steaks to smallmouth.
Guadalupe bass is a rare specie of smallmouth that can only be found here in Texas. They don't grow very large but they do put up a good fight for their size. Neko and wacky rig work best or soft plastic lizards on a Texas rig will do just as well to catch these feisty basstards.
