Never know unless you try. It's not warm over here. Water temps are at most 55.
What's Catching You Fish?

Stop complaining. We’ve caught 137 rainbows the last two weekends. Who cares if most were the size of Billy’s popper
.
Lots of fish this morning, as long as the fly was black. I'll call this the stupid stocker leech. Deadly under a float. Orange thread, marabou tail, blk flash each side adds durability, black simiseal (or blk/red here or canadian blk). Same fly in brown, nada, peacock olive got some.
Runner up was a black bugger w/ red bead and blue flash fished on a sink tip.
A few better fish but mostly this
Quick hack, hook loop or float on a paper clip, walk across lot any give a gentle pull and hold, and reel up. Line lays out straight after casting.

How deep under a float were you fishing the stupid stocker leech?
Thanks.

Another jumbo votes for the 2” black bunny leech with an orange bead head. The hoop on the net is 18” long so this RB was 20” or so. They won’t take it trolled, you need to strip the fly.
@Tom Butler 's stupid stocker leech, 5-6 feet down under a bobber, just like the man said. By the way, I really like the Oros in-line bobber in the small size. It is easy to slide on the leader but stays where I leave it.

Something Different?
Like the whitefish, these guys rock!
The prettiest, and by far hardest pulling for it's size

Warm water fish are awesome on a fly rod. Well done.
That’s a chunky bluegill.
I think those are pumpkin seed sunfish?
Is that a fiberglass rod.? It's nice looking what every it is...
Really nice sized pumpkinseed too!
It is a Sage bass. I like it a lot
Dang Rich, you definitely found some nice Largemouths.
I'm glad I was able to meet you last week.
I enjoyed chatting with you while we fished.
