Hey BigBill, Do ya mean y'all really use dem flies to fish with? I don't nose how ya gets dem on da hook after swatting dem with da swatter........Couldn't resist. I have flipped a fly a time or two, and still do for pan fish when I get a chance to fish back East. I tried a time or two here for bass but didn't do too good.
Ain't no better fishing than to get into a bunch of big feeding bream with the fly rod. And they eat good too. Louisiana has some really large ones, several years ago I seen one in Alexandria that went over two pounds. I don't weigh them, but I would think most I catch are 3/4lb and smaller. I have heard several states stocked a hybrid Redear that grows to 2-2 1/2 lbs, I'd sure like to find some of them........you know them bad boys would stretch your line.
We are back into winter, it's been averaging about 60-65 since Christmas. but last night it dropped down to 22. That will slow the bite a little, but folks are still fishing.
