Joe Guild has seen a smallie rise about 60 feet downstream on the Paint River. It's  tucked in behind a small boulder. He double-hauls, plops the streamer inches from the fish's head and wham, fish on, to net and released!The ability to cast accurately counts. For the record, Upper Peninsula smallmouth waters do not get much pressure from flyrodders or any other kind of anglers, which means most rivers with smallies will border on virgin when you visit, and if you're willing to get away from roads and bridges and other signs of civilization.
