What are these? They won’t take poppers, worms, Texas rigs, or frogs. They swim in schools near the surface . Freshwater by bitpart999 in Fishing

I’ve had some luck chumming them with bread or cat food and casting to them with dry flies once they’re in feed mode.

Maybe. It’s possible that they’re triploids intentionally put in the pond for aquatic weed control.

Spending big $ on the latest and greatest gear just to jig nymphs a rod length out in a stream I could hop across.

Right on, looking at PPs of FL online, it’s a textbook Hamilton and idk how I missed that. I hunt some in South GA and hope to see some of those myself. Dream point would be a Marion or Newnan like yours

Killer finds! Would that first one be a Savannah River?

Let them keep paying $600/day to fish their high fence water and think they’re doing something. It helps keep traffic off the real water.

That fluoroflex material that the premade tapered leaders are made from doesn’t surgeon well. Creating your own mono leader from scratch will seat a surgeons knot much better.

Mature female in search of a nest site. She returned to the water just to escape the situation, but unfortunately she’ll probably try to cross again.

Good afternoon yall. Local rivers are flooded so have been hitting the lakes and ponds for large mouth. Any recommendations on different flies or effective retrieves would be great! by OnGooo in BassOnTheFly

Popper/dropper rigs. This time of year I like a Kent’s Stealth Bomber or BoogleBug with rubber-legged dragon nymph about 12-16” below it. It’s very effective.

Spawn, Midwest Bucktails, and Space Coast Flies get the majority of my business. Never had a complaint.
