Smelt are a prolific baitfish that inhabit most of the lakes, rivers, and streams in the northeast. This small fish will spawn in huge numbers. They become a staple food source for predatory fish. This fly pattern is a simple design that imitates the smelt accurately. The synthetic craft fur that is used in this fly has amazing action in the water. Tied on a barbless size 4 streamer hook.
