Sunfish in the "whitewater"?

[whiskerwhipper]

I have caught bluegills, redbreasts, and redears in the whitewater sections of rivers and creeks. Most often occurs when I go trout fishing with worms or wet flies and get a big suprise when I pull up either a big redbreast or bull gill from the rapids and riffle areas of a river or stream instead of a rainbow or brown trout Has this happen to anybody b4? I might of stumbled upon sumthin :D

a lake few towns south of me,there is a spillway.the lake spills into a creek which goes out into the bay.right where the water is spilling and whitewater is i pulled red breast,gills,and pumkin seeds out on jigheads.thats the one place i use jigheads often.i've also caught white and yeller perch,and shiners with red tail and fins.the jigheads are hooked with southern pro lil hustlers tubes in red chartreuse if that helps any

Redbreasts love the fast water!

I usually catch more redbreasts in this fashion more than the other sunfish.
