This video you was filmed here in southern Indiana using my GoPro with a chestie mount. It is a gorgeous day and I am fishing a 5 weight TQR rod made by Cabela’s and a sink tip line that sinks at about an inch and a half per second. The fly is a shiner or bluntnose replica that looks like a number of baitfish that is swimming around in our waters. We are really at about peak time here in late April or early May for some great smallmouth action….grab your gear and get going.
