Big Smallies on the fly

Big Smallies on the fly #flyfishing #bassonthefly #smallmouthbass
We had an epic trip fishing for smallmouth bass in Michigan. After an easy flight to Detroit and a short drive we were in the middle of 20 plus potential options for catching some lunker smallies. We fished with Mike Schultz and a few other guides from Schultz Outfitters. We caught big smallmouth bass in several different rivers on everything from big streamers and poppers to foam hopper patterns. We blind casted with sink tip lines and big baitfish patterns and sight casted with floating lines and small terrestrials the next day. We all agreed that this is a trip that we want to do again.

Epic fishing!

What type of flies worked for them. I'm in Idaho this week and we have a couple spots for smallies that we've targeted with tube jigs in the past. Any patterns you recommend?

Sir, I have watched a lot more of your videos than I comment on. I really enjoyed watching you two in this video. I am blessed with a wife who loves to fish as much as me as well. We have been kayak fishing for over a decade together and love each and every trip we take. We have been as far north as Colorado fly fishing up in the small lakes out of our kayaks to all over Oklahoma, the state I grew up in, and now living in far East Texas. Fun Times and it's fun to see you two having as much fun as we doo. Keep up the fun videos sir. Dale

Schultzy is one the best guides I ever fished with. He has an awesome shop. They are a number one group of fly fishers.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yeah they are top notch for sure!

[@johnpetsch5202]

Just got back from Michigan chasing smallmouth. Cool you got to hook up with the Schultzy crew! Great group of guys, and an awesome shop.

[@mikemaynard2044]

Alvin sold me my first flyrod at the old Austin angler many years ago...cool dude!

[@KamSitton]

Great guide work. Awesome seeing a guide willing to get out of the boat to make sure the fish gets netted

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Schultzy is pretty awesome.

[@rynoyak]

It’s probably the Huron River. Can’t go wrong fishing with Mike! Welcome to Detroit Michigan.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Yeah Mike is the man!

[@Catch_and_Release_Angling]

Great timing! I just caught my pb smallie on the fly yesterday out of a small creek. The big ones put up such a great fight.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

They sure do!

[@dollijokinen]

So Rad dude! I’ve got a sweet spot for smallies! Love catching them!!!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

You and me both!

[@charlieboutin3341]

Awesome trip with awesome fish! Thanks for taking us along! I’ve been fishing near Fredericksburg recently, and caught some largemouth lunkers (5-7lbs) on your Dedeaux Snakes both white and black colors, and lost a big hawg (7#?) on a green Dedeaux popper yesterday evening..I’ll be going back🙂. Heading to Corpus Christi for a week..tied up some Clousers and Shrimp imitations. Hopefully I’ll catch my first saltwater fish on a fly.🤞Appreciate all you share and do Alvin! Thanks a lot! 👍👌✌️🎣

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

You will enjoy it.

[@emanonrm824]

After watching your video, had to stop in and give their shop a once over. Didn't know there was a fly shop in Ypsilanti. Had one if the staff pick me out some 🪰 he would fish. We will see how it turns out, thanks for sharing your experience.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Glad to help you hook up!

[@kentyler966]

Hey Al-De, ever hear of a little old place over here in Wisconsin called Sturgeon Bay? Might be worth your time to check us out. Lots of chunky butt kicking Smallmouth. World class. Guy in Wisconsin if your interested, Larry Smith. Has a weekly TV show.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I'll check it out!

[@mikebbb30]

Killer, Alvin! Was there a specific fly on the trip that seemed to really get it done?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

We caught them on a bunch of different patters. Big streamers in the big or muddy stuff. Poppers and hopers in the smaller clearer water.

[@andrewj.karaffa7080]

Is that the ausable in Michigan?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

I don't think so. We hit a bunch of rivers but I don't think that was one of them.

[@williamoldsouls5709]

SHULTZY!

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

The man!

[@BlueLinerMedia]

Those were some hogs!

[@jeffdurocher8669]

Great video, what flies and size? Any crawfish flies used?

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

We caught them on a bunch of different patters. Big streamers in the big or muddy stuff. Poppers and hopers in the smaller clearer water. We didn't use any crawfish patterns. I saw a few in the rivers though,
