Terry Dodge Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 For a fly fishing book I would start here https://shop.tightlinesflyshop.com/smallmouth-modern-fly-fishing-methods-tactics-and.html I’m still writing the book on Illinois smallmouth fishing. Hope to get a new box of Crayons for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev-mo Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 you could also look back on past posts on this site and others here's a book that has been mentioned before; Stream Smallmouth Fishing - Book by Tim Holschlag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Durham Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Welcome aboard Ryan! In addition to what Kevin mentioned, Tim Holschlag has another excellent book entitled "Smallmouth Fly Fishing, The Best Techniques, Flies and Destinations" Another great resource is Bob Clouser's "Fly Fishing for Smallmouth in Rivers and Streams" Lots of great reading resources to get you through this Pandemic winter and prepared for spring fishing!

Tim Landwehr's book is geared towards northern wisconsin but you could apply that here. I think Austin Adduci (Kank Guide) is mentioned in there. You can get most of these books at your Library, they will transfer to your local library. SWAN Libraries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gillio Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Another good book is,"Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass", by Harry Murry and illustrated by Dave Whitlock. It discusses tackle, casting, reading the water, flies, techniques, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
