Good smallmouth tactics book?

[Ryan Kral]

Hey guys, anybody have any recommendations on a good book on fly fishing for smallies? Even though I catch them, I like to read books on the different species to learn some more of the techniques and fish behavior. Just curious, I know their are a bunch out there. Thanks, Ryan

Ryan,

 

I put my money on Lefty. Fly Fishing for Bass: Smallmouth, Largemouth, and Exotics.

I have heard that Holslag has a good one too.

But if I can have one only, I'll go with Bob Clouser's book.

Bob Clouser's and Tim Holshlag's books are the two finest in my opinion.

Tim Holschlag's book, it's the bible for fly fishing tactics. Not everyone's a fan and he's not the most tactful speaker at times, but Tim's got more SMB fly fishing knowledge than most.
