Water temp was 60. Smallmouth were spawn and post spawn phases. Fished rock to sand transitions looking for biggest boulders in 4 to 12 ft of water. Used a slow retrieve with Feider Fly while cruising the flats. Switched to smallie beaver on 1/4 oz jighead and robo worms on dropshot when fish were locked on beds.
