jjoel - I see your from Missouri.I've fished Lake Norfolk,Bull Shoals,White River in Ark.Man you've got some of the best fishin in the country over there.I'd go there every year if it wasn't 1000 miles away!!

Can't think of anything better than where your at.Alot of Great lakes,rivers East of the Mississippi.You might want to try your hand at some good tidal rivers in East or deep south.Many have good smally's,but June is a little late for(good)smally's IMO.I would say if your lookin for best smally fishin think March,April,in nice clean,cool lakes or rivers.Good Luck
