 | Matt- Yes, most of the information and 'suggestions' online note that traditional dries (small and smaller) don't do well when cast Spey style; apparently larger dries- like the Bomber you mentioned, as well as the larger patterns such as Stoneflies and such- can be used. I'd like to try some large stone patterns and hoppers, along with swinging soft-hackles and streamers which are flies I haven't fished much. I am really, really curious about the fish I've seen rising just beyond single-hand casting range...I've waded to the limit of what I consider sane depth trying to reach them and these guys are past that. Jonathon, I hope to tie into SOMETHING this weekend, even if its only a(nother) pig of a Redhorse Sucker...they still put up a fight! tight lines, all, Roguerat 'Less is more...'

 Posts: 2611 | "...even if its only a(nother) pig of a Redhorse Sucker...they still put up a fight!" Got a 15" golden redhorse once in the south branch of the Flint River, while looking for holdover browns. It looked like a skinny carp! Put up a good fight too, hit a #10 brown/grizzly Woolly Bugger. I was disappointed it wasn't a brown, but hey, I didn't get skunked and it wasn't exactly a little guy! Tight lines whether it be sucker or trout! Jonathon | |
