BoSox and I took another go at Itchy River today. The water was SO CLOUDY due to the rain this morning and yesterday morning. Anyways, we suited up and tried are luck. I decided to bring my fly rod today and try something different. Man I'm so glad I did!!!



I caught three smallies on this, and almost had a largie too. He came and picked it up, and me being a fly rod novice, I didn't set the hook properly. At least I got some good casts today, and some fish! BoSox got a rock bass on a small white spinnerbait, and a sunny and a decent perch both on a black 1/8 oz. rooster tail. He was a good sport about being schooled by his fly fishing brother too. Wink Wink We would have stayed longer, but a thunderstorm chased us out. We were practically sprinting through the water.

I say we're lucky we got as many fish as we did. Between the dirty water and the fresh silt we were kicking up, its a wonder those fish were even hitting at all. Thank god for the lateral line. Confused

I'm very surprised at the low number of responses to this topic. How many of you guys out there have caught a smallie on a fly rod??? Jealous... Wink

Don't know if I could set the hook hard enough with a fly rod. For smalleys a nice baitcaster and a stout rod is the way to cross their eyes! Nice job though!
