Checking pictures on the net , I’m pretty sure the mystery fish is a flier . But according to what the state Fisheries Department put up , it shouldn’t have been where it was .
Here’s what I found...

What is this is fish ?
I’m thinking it’s a flier .
If not a flier , it has to be some kind of hybrid.

Arrived at Lake McIntosh this morning around eleven, it’s overcast , a little windy , but the biggest issue was , people.
One spot was open on the left side of the dock . I counted thirteen people...

Congrats !
Nothing wrong with those combos .
JDM tackle is not a need , it’s a want .

Nice !

I wondered how your trout trip turned out .
Hate you had the trouble loading. Been there .
I used to trout fish the Chattahoochee River above Atlanta with my 15’ Alumacraft . If they opened a gate...

I heard my tungsten beaded streamer whizz by my ear once this morning. Got my attention . :)
The shorter fly rods are a little more difficult casting with weighted flies .

Got to spend around thirty minutes this morning tossing a streamer and then a spider .
Caught nine . Most were small.
First fish was the best . And the other little guy was most colorful.

Ain’t nothing more fun than topwater gill ketchin on a flyrod .

I got an email from B’nM rods that contained a link to a monster shellcracker caught out of Lake Havasu .
Since they are a sponsor here , I figured it would be ok to post a link to the blog .

Not a spinning combo , not BFS .
It’s my Ultimate UL gill catching combo .
A 5’9”, One weight Redington Butterstick fiberglass flyrod paired with a Redington Zero fly reel , loaded with a 3wt...

A couple of freaks!
Congrats!

Oh My Gosh ! Toads exactly!

That’s a platter !

Ketchin’ is Ketchin’ !
And when you can get them to grab in right in front of you , it’s , well ……. KABOOM!

Most of the time I don’t set the hook , I raise the rod , and start winding.
On several occasions, I’ve gotten my hemostats out to remove what I thought was a deep hook and when I open the fish’s...

It was in the upper 70’s when we got to the first of our new spots with high hopes .
We were met with a high north wind , blowing straight into us .
Not good .
I caught five tiny gills , my...

Nice colored up cracker !

Why’d you have to go and mention those blood sucking creepy crawlers?
Found one on me this morning .
Hadn’t had one on me in a couple years at least . Until now .
Hate those things!

I’m able to get off some nice casts , I’m just not consistent.
One little mistake and it turns into a big mess.
Just not worth the hassle IMO .

The weight and the fact I already have several Fuego Lt1000’s .
Ordered some Tungsten beads , jig hooks , and some zonker strips instead .
Sun is shining now :)

One reason I like bank fishing .

Breaking off while fighting a fish isn’t a worry . It’s when I get it to the bank and I’m four feet or more above the water level that’s the problem.
My thought was once I got to the leader I could...

Cancelled my order for the Daiwa 24 Tsukiyobijin X LT 1000S-

Thinking of going with a Daiwa Cardia LT1000s .
If I order another one at all .
It’s storming outside and I’m bored :)

Now that sounds like a fun time ketchin’ . Kaboom!
Pretty ones too !
That jig needs a retie !

Nice catches !
I take from 1-5 rods , in the car , with me when I go . But all but the one I’m fishing with , stays in the car .
Being a bank fisherman, I try to keep everything as light as...

If they going to bite , I’m reeling them in !
Sometimes they’s all that’s available.
Just saying !
Congrats !

Well , I got a chance to fish for about forty five minutes today .
Instead of trying the shock leader idea , I switched reels on my 4’10” Major Craft Fine Tail Glass rod to a Shimano Stradic spooled...

I’ve been swimming curly tail grubs lately with pretty good luck ..
The other day , I was getting a lot of short nips , not many hookups at all .
Sometimes I could see a fish swipe at the grub or...
