Out for the first time this year hunting smallmouth with the fly rod and hooked this good looking guy on a chartreuse and white streamer. I got a nice jump from him but he teased me by inviting an even bigger one to follow him up to the canoe. 

I plan on doing most of my smallie fishing this summer with the fly rod as I have a ton of gaudy poppers and streamers waiting to get wet.

Beautfiul fish. It almost looks like you are fishing the Florida Keys or a swimming pool with than kind of clarity!

beat me to it man!  i was going to ask if this was a pet in your swimming pool?

It is a saltwater fly so this is my poor man's bonefish. Yes, that is the water color and clarity on my lake. Right now it's elmerald and turquoise with patches of dark blue in the shade of passing clouds and is a lot like the Keys. The fish tend to be small but I'm pretty lucky.
