Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Good morning everyone. I am looking for some good spots in northern Lake county or somewhere close to that to wade into some rivers and fish for smallies. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

 There is a small flyshop near Dublin just south of 55.  They tie a lot of smallmouth flies. It is the new rave up there for flyfishermen. I stop in most every time I pass through, and buy some flies. When I do they are more than happy to direct me to some good community holes. Not to many locals are going to put you on their honey holes. I have always had good luck were ever they sent me! Be careful, some of the streams and rivers may be fly only. GOOD LUCK.

Manistee river is full of nice smallies
