I've only fished for them around the Kimberling City area.  I'm no smallmouth expert but I caught a lot of them C-rigging french fries and pen type worms in 20' + deep water. Translucent colors usually work best on the Rock.  Caught them Mostly on gravel/rocky points and pockets off the main lake.  

Go to the dam, go across the lake to the opposite bank of long creek. Work a grub from there to Arkansas.

I only fish TRL once a year, and usually the Eastern part of the lake, but the majority of fish I have caught have been SM (with Spots second and LM third). The SM population seems to be higher than the rest, I'm sure impacted to some extent by the LMBV which hit the lake around '99. By all accounts, though, TRL has bounced back quite nicely.

With that said, I agree with tkite16 about fishing from the dam south into Long Creek Arm, although I've never ventured into AR.
