Smallmouth Bass swim in lakes and rivers across the United States and Canada and are a premier fly-rod gamefish in almost every way- they take flies readily, feed on diverse foods for a long period of time, tolerate higher water temperatures than trout, and fight harder than any other North American freshwater fish their size. This is the first book dedicated to the best modern flies for these fish that includes both step-by-step tying instructions as well as top patterns and recipes for flies that cover the complete water column, from top to bottom.

* Over 300 patterns from today's top tyers from around the world
* Detailed steps for 16 patterns
* Fishing information for topwater to bottom, for all seasons
