I'm watching to learn, I got these down with gear, but a few have come to flies. I want to throw a topwater fly into that back corner.

Largest LMB I've caught so far. Hit a mouse pattern and I missed it. Made another cast and it hit it again and this time, I managed to land it:



More of a typical size I catch at the farmer's lake ... with my most effective popper:

Absolute beast. Think I recognize a Supercat float tube underneath that monster. I've had the Supercat 50 for 15 years. Still going strong.

Yup... my Supercat has also been with me for 15 or so years. It helps that they are made from rubber raft material.

A 4wt Eagle Claw glass and a dry fly is fun when there's lots of little guys to play with
