My intrest in fly fishing as officially taken over. I was wondering if anyone could help me and suggest any flies for smallmouth? I have most basic flies and steelhead/Salmon flies.

You need a mere 2 flies for here....
1. Clouser - chartruese/white, blue/white, purple/white 2. Deer hair popper - (Other topwater flies work too like gurglers and stuff, I just like to spin deer hair) I don't think color really matters here.

Deer hair sucks. Pick up a handful of Boogle Bugs next time you're at the fly shop. Ha! I like oranges browns and blacks for smallie flies. But then again white seems to work great too! Baitfish or craw patterns are always good. I like to use a good amount of marabou in mine. Gives lots of movement.

I really like very large woolly buggers size 4 up to 1/0 for the fox.
White, with lots of flash. Olive when water clarity is good.
