The Smith is getting pretty clear and could use some more water reports guide Mike Coopman of Mike Coopman’s Guide Service. “The fishing this past week has been decent, we’re seeing two to three hookups per trip. It looks like we have a pretty good bump in flows coming on Thursday, which should be really good for the weekend,” Coopman said.
