Yep. Been there done that, Andy. Black Nosed Dace is a good streamer but I'm usually using a #8 Crappie Candy (a Clouser Minnow jig type fly with beadchain eyes for weight) for fishing deeper water. Black Wooly Buggers and Black Leeches (Beady Eyed Leeches, Boa Yarn Leeches, ect.) also score well at times. Lately though, #4 and #6 Minnow Crease Flies have been scoring really well for me on bream and LMB. Great to hear you're having good luck on the fly rod, Andy .

#4 Minnow Crease Fly (Surface minnow baitfish imitation or the fly angler's answer to the Rapala)


mostlybrim37,

It is not hard but my suggestion is if possible, get a fly casting instructor to start you out casting correctly to save yourself a lot of disappointment. Tackle shops should be able to point you to a local fly casting instructor.
