It's here!!!! I thought a poll would be a good starting topic. I fish mainly for bluegill on a fly rod, but I also go for bass on the fly rod. Anyways, looking forward to seeing the results.

I haven't really fished it but i really want to learn to target hybrids on the flyrod and I imagine it'll be possible this spring.

Me too. You'll probably see me out there this spring. I see the hybrids chasing the shad around quite a bit. Hopefully I'll get one this spring.

Chesnut,

What lake do you see the hybrids chasing the shad? I have only caught some in Bluestem. I caught some smaller ones on chicken liver under a bobber and landed about a 6 pounder on a shiner under a bobber. I have yet to catch them in any other lake and have most of my luck with the chicken liver. I would rather catch them on a lure but can't seem to find what they want.

If the lakes weren't frozen over I would be out there as much as possible trying to catch some of the trout they have stocked.

Sorry in a hurry, I ment Troutfiend1985.

Zach, I've seen them in Bodarc chasing shad. They get big too, or they srock them big, one or the other.

They grow large in those lakes due to a large amount of forage. That is why there have been 10+ pound hybrids caught from JAR.

[Randall]

How often do you go after them? I really want to get out there this spring after the disappointment I had at the Jacomo spillway last year.

I haven't fished Coot in years, but I have caught bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth, wiper, rainbow and brown trout from Coot Lake.

Right on... well come late March or April I think I'll be going out there on the weekends to start getting a feel for the area. Anybody wants to go just give me a shout.
