  • We take a camping trip to Arkansas and spend the day kayaking down the Ouachita River. I am fly fishing for smallmouth bass in the heart of the Ouachita Mountains! The Scenery and Fishing is amazing and there is nothing like floating down this Beautiful Arkansas mountain stream fighting a smallmouth bass on a fly rod!

    Me and my buddies hit this river up every year because the fishing is fantastic. In fact we were there just a few days after this trip.

    Would a 4wt rod work for small mouth bass. I’m looking for a rod for river fishing. I’m just getting started.

    • @OutdoorHighlife
      @OutdoorHighlife  11 месяцев назад

      Yea, a 4wt would work. A lot of it depends on what size fly your trying to chunk. For your bigger streamer flies, anyhere from a 5wt to 8wt would be ideal, and alot of it depends on rod manufacturer too, some rods are stiffer than others. For the size of flies I like to throw, anywhere from a 6-8wt is usually what I like to use. But you could have a blast catching them on a 4wt!

      Next time you see someone enjoying something you don't, just say "well I'm glad they're having fun" to yourself and move on with your life instead of informing everyone that you don't like it.
