End of Summer Smallies

Over the past five years or so fishing for smallmouth bass, I have come to find out that they are not very particular about what they eat.  Wooly Buggers in black, brown, or olive always seem to do the trick when flows are moderate to low and not too much weight is needed.  Also, zonkers, especially in black and white, are favorite bait fish imitations.

These two smallmouth took zonkers tied to look like the famous Black Ghost streamer pattern.
