OTHER: I fished with Slim. We had a great day, and threw everything at the fish except the kitchen sink. We caught lots of fish, though most were small. I managed to take only one small smallmouth and lots of bream on the various top water flies used, as did Slim. About one mile downstream, I discovered a fairly long pool with some depth, and noted a school of about 8 carp, most over 5 pounds, as well as 4 smallmouth over 20 inches. I could not get the smallmouth to even look at a fly. In the same pool were many smaller smallmouth bass. I'll definitely return to that pool, though the walk back upstream is a killer.
