Fly fishing smallmouth bass on the St. Louis River near Duluth, MN and Superior, WI. June, 2009. Testing out the new Redington Predator Fly Rod. We were just out messing around with my new Sony HD video cam and learning to use Sony’s Vegas video editing software. www.arrowheadflyangler.com

@howell55812 Yeah your right. I’m trying to get a trophy regulation in place for the St. Louis River. I put a lot of time on the river, but only hit the community areas, these let me know how others areas are fishing. There are lots spawning areas that I have never seen anyone fishing, some where there are a steady stream of boats going right by, funny to see. The river has so many hidden features, that’s why I love fishing it.
Fished that stretch many times. I cant believe how many people fish smallmouth on the river now. Back in the day you rarely saw anybody fishing for bass. Now many of those spawning areas get hit over and over everyday.
How many fish are you going to miss Set the hook you freaking me out man!!!! LOL NEVER pull a fish into your boat with your fly rod Ive seen dozens of tips break like that.
oh btw i subscribed
thats fantastic good fishing. I agree with lolrobin the second smallie was an absolute tank great fishing keep it up
Thats awesome, man. Well done. Smallies are my favorite species on the fly. It’s a shame you didn’t hook-up with those first few. It seemed like you did everything right as far as the hook set goes….
Where on the river were you guys approximately?
8wt Redington Predator. Makes a great topwater rod.
That second fish was a true lunker! What rod weight where you using on that Predator?
Awesome!!! Just got my first smallie in Hawaii out of all places. Smallmouths are a very feisty bunch to say the least. I can only imagine the fight with those pigs. Can’t wait to catch smallies as big as those. Thanks for sharing!
ottimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
close is good enough for me nice fish
Really close tenneseesportsman — White strip leech, close enough to wooly bugger to me and the other was a big foam bodied bass popper.
one was a white wooly bugger i think and the other was just some kind of big fly popper
Awesome video, nice to see my home turf producing some good fishing.
