David and I hit Woodglenn and cracked into the first bass of the spring. While these little guys were small, a fly rod makes a non-keeper bass much more sporty. Today's winning presentation was a neon green BH wooly bugger pulled against a wind current. The stained water called for the obnoxious color. Once again, the wooly bugger delivers!

We fished sumset at Lake Royal and got another small bass.
The small ones will lead to keepers...good fishing just starting,
Dad
I will be looking for one of your smallies to post.
My thoughts on Spring Smallies in clear water:
- 4" Lizard (NC forage specific --match the color of the bottom)
- 3 1/2" Tube (Either white for baitfish look or match bottom)
- If crankbaits fail try a curly tail grub in natural color or a small white spinnet bait (looks like baitfish school)
- Drop shot a gulp minnow pattern
If the water stains use bigger lures in either dark black or neon colors and go for rattles and other noise makers.
Not much better in life than a spring smallmouth bass!
