183. The Smallmouth Exception: Del Munro Joins the Pod
This week, we break one of our own rules… and it was absolutely worth it.
We sit down with Del Munro of Davidson River Outfitters. Del is a true student of the river. While he may not be a dad, his knowledge of smallmouth bass fishing earns him a seat at the table.
We dive into Del’s journey in the fly fishing world, what makes smallmouth so addicting, and how chasing bronze backs is a completely different game than the trout most of us cut our teeth on. From reading water to dialing in flies and approach, Del shares practical, hard-earned wisdom you won’t find in a textbook.
If you’ve ever thought about making the jump from trout streams to smallmouth rivers (or just want to become a better angler overall,) this one’s packed with insight.
Plus, we swap a few stories, talk local waters, and get a glimpse into what makes Western North Carolina such a special place to fish.
