I have never fly fished for small mouth and want to try the upper illinois. I have done some research and located several places recommended starting with the Chewy Bridge. I will be wade fishing and from what I’ve read I would be OK with Woolly Buggers, muddled minnows etc. I have some small poppers If that would work. Most of my fly fishing is for trout so most of my flies are trout related. Any suggestions or input is appreciated. Thanks!
