Did you use a wet, sinking fly to catch those red ears? I know that was fun.

heck of a good day with the fly rod, congrats. Post up a pic of the fly please. :highfive

Very nice, love some bream feshing

One of my favorite ways to fish.

good job coach

That's the way my dad fished for gills. He used a popping bug with a bream killer bout a foot below it on a fly rod. Fun way to catch em. Nice job Coach.

BTW, them crackers can fight.

You wore them out! Looks like it was a fun day fishing

we used to buy these from a company called "four rivers" . they were located in greenwood or Greenville ,Ms. It is a sinking wet fly . Betts makes one ,but it has a feather and in my opinion it takes forever to make it sink .four rivers went out of business so we resort to having one of my former players tie these .

That's a fun way to catch them. You should make a tumbling style fish scaler

One of our buddies made one and we used it last year and it worked fine. He simply made a barrel or drum from a thin sheet of metal, I think it was a/c duct work material. Punch a bunch of holes in it so it is jagged on the inside, and he had a pipe running through the center that the drum rotated on. The pipe had holes for water to squirt from and it was powered by an old garage door motor so it turned slowly. You put about 25 inside turn the water and power on, by the time you drink a cold beer the are clean as a whistle

where they got them red ear around here?
nice catch--those gonna be some good eating.

STATE RECORD CAME FROM TIPPAH LAKE, RIPLEY MS. I THINK . SOMETHING LIKE 3.33 . MABY SOMEONE KNOWS FOR SURE .:scratchhead

That's a fine mess right there. If you don't mind my asking, where did you catch them critters? I was having a great time catching bream here at Enid until the "man" decided that my lake didn't actually need any water, and now I can't find them here like they were. I may have to relocate to a new bream hole.
