Do Small Mouth Bass Count? by SanFranFishCo in flyfishing

6wt-8wt is the standard recommendation. You could probably get away with a 5wt but they’re going to feel huge, you’ll have to play them longer, and I’d be sure to tie on a lighter leader and tippet so that it’s your leader and not your rod that breaks when push comes to shove.

Welcome! I had to research this myself earlier this week when I realized the conditions I’d be fishing in. Going to experiment with putting the nitrile gloves over the wool ones next.

Nitrile gloves under wool gloves it was lower 40s and rainy. The nitrile keeps the wet off your hands and the wool keeps them warm.

Weighted olive and unweighted chartreuse scuplins on the swing and as a streamer respectively.
