Does anyone fly fish in the Canoe Country?
Yes, fly fishing is becoming more and more popular. We recommend an 8 weight rod with a bass taper line. Hard body, cork style poppers and woolly buggers are generally enough for good smallmouth action. If you have a heavier rod, or are a good caster, you can also throw the larger foam body poppers in search of the larger bass. With streamers, and a heavy tippett, you can also take the aggressive northern pike. We’ve found it best to take turns paddling with your canoe partner to position yourself for accurate casts.
