Smallies?
Message:
I was born a backwater fisherman and growing up I became pretty dang good at catching trout in streams and I'd like to get back to those backwater roots this year but instead of hunting trout I want to pursue some smallmouth bass and I am wondering if anyone here could offer some guidance. I don't really want/need too many tips on how to catch em. I do a lot of research and like figuring this out on the water as I find it rewarding. What Im hoping I could get is some help on where I could go after them either wading or via yak. I know there's got so be some creeks people could tell me about that aren't really detailed in the Angler's Guide. If u must PM I promise to keep ur spot a secret.

All I could think of around your area would be certain areas of the Farmington and the CTR.
Smallies eat very similar to largemouths. Smallies also like insects and crayfish more than largemouths.
Fishing smaller rivers for smallies usually means crayfish, crappie jigs, grubs, helgramites, and small minnow plugs. Fishing bigger rivers, lakes, and ponds means minnow plugs, crankbaits, bigger soft plastics. I've seen plenty of reports of smallie fishermen having lots of luck with the original Super Fluke in the CTR.
