Synopsis of Class
As soon as the snow melts and the sun starts to shine everyone gets the itch to get out fishing.  Here in Indiana that mostly means smallmouth fishing.  The waters are still pretty cold and the fish are sluggish.  But they are very hungry.  That means streamers fished slow and deep are the order of the day.

There are many streamer patterns that are productive in the early spring.  The key is to fish patterns that can be swung slow and deep in the water.  Dark Sculpins, minnow and worm patterns work really well.  The early Spring Smallmouth class is designed to teach just some of these patterns.  All can be tied with dark colors and lots of weight so they can be fished deep and slow.  You can also change the colors for later summer and fall fishing!
