steelworker,
for smallmouth on the clearwater river in idaho, i would use kalins grubs 5', in green pepper, browns, and also rapala crawdad colored fat raps, kalins allways seemed to produce real well, also, if your fishing a river that has resident trout and or stealhead smolts, take a floating "trout" looking rapala and jus twitch it on the surface..ive caught 17", 16" 15" SMALLIES USING THIS very method, sorry bout the caps, i cut my finger and i dont want to have to retype..well, if you ever find some good smallie fishing, hook me up.lol...
