For what it is worth, there is a fishery for smallmouth here on Lake Whatcom
(Bellingham).
I have caught a few "accidentally" while testing flies, lines, etc. in front
of my place, but haven't gotten serious about figuring them out .
Bad news is: There is lots of competition from the full blown bass boat
guys, with contests almost every weekend.
Good news is: They are C&R, complete with the anesthetized livewells (and
200 hp with all the bells and whistles). I have seen some very respectable
fish, both numbers and size turned in at these competitions.
Contact me if you are interested in scoping it out and I will show you what
I know about it.
I have an invite from a former student, who is now on the pro bass tour,
(and apparently guiding on the lake), to blast around with him. Thought I
might go, with a disguise of course, and see if I can figure out how to
apply the fly.
Moore later,
Tom

Ray -- I'll be watching the responses closely too; I'm
just getting started
in bass and pan fishing here in the northwest and am looking
for all the help
I can get. So far Dennis Conrad seems to be the only one
who shares our
interest.
