Cast and retrieve, my largest with a black bunny leech size 4 with a black bead head, simple fly. The Bullheads all on an indicator casting to bubbles of carp and them, similar except they make smaller ones, usually. My usual carp flies designed to ride hook up, and good ol' San Juan Worm types. All the cats seem to hold onto the fly longer than carp. I caught a 14" bullhead I stupidly tried to simply lift up out of the water like the smaller ones, heavy fat fish almost broke an Orvis T3 6 wt. Yes, mostly by accident, though on one pond in early march (cold H2O) I see whiskers protuding through the surfsce as the channels search the top layer for food, those I cast to for them. But, going after them at night appeals to me.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575871025309667555.post-5582765393591886972012-01-25T10:16:05.366-08:002012-01-25T10:16:05.366-08:00Thanks for the feedback Gregg. How are you genera...Thanks for the feedback Gregg. How are you generally catching catfish on the fly, are you using indicator rigs? If so, what type of flies do you use? Or, do you catch them on accident when fishing for a different species?<br /><br />-BrianBrian Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191523483459240880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575871025309667555.post-33396423862908678052012-01-23T12:51:49.206-08:002012-01-23T12:51:49.206-08:00Brian,

I have caught several channels on a fly, the largest say 5lb., and innumerable bullheads, some to 14" who here take a fly as well as with bait it seems. Good story-keep it up!<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575871025309667555.post-42769940457522091432011-08-07T17:00:08.460-07:002011-08-07T17:00:08.460-07:00Hey man.
