Stampede Reservoir offers good fly fishing for smallmouth bass. Many of the rocky areas along the East side of the reservoir have produced quite large smallmouth bass this Spring. Typically you can find some solitude up here and the fishing provides a new challenge. Slow retrieves or indicator presentations are working well. I prefer an indicator rig with either a balanced fly or jigged fly underneath. Anything resembling a baitfish or crawdad can get a grab. Pick a section to fish and methodically work the structures, covering distance along the bank.
