Are you looking for spots at Riffe or fishing for smallies in general for the west side of the cascades? At Riffe the Kosmos flats area is always productive. I use jerkbait and swimbait over the grass (5-7' of water) at the transition between the grass and rocky drop offs (8'-15' of water) I switch to a grub and lipless crankbaits. As I move deeper down to 35', drop shot along with a jig and pig set up seems to work well.
