Glad to have you aboard! If you stick with floating line but want to get into “deep pools” I would advise buying a “sinking poly” leader to add to your fly line. It’s considered the poor man’s sinking tip line when you can’t afford a sinking tip line of just want to make a quick change. It will help get your flies down even though you are using a floating line. Then the leaded flies you would use can either be ones with bead or cone heads or lead wire wrapped around the shank of the hook if you are a fly tier.  As far as flies woolybuggers, sculpin patterns and crayfish patterns would do great. Check out our most recent smallmouth trip in our trips page. We used and were very successful with the fly called the meat-whistle.

Hope this helps!!
