I hope you get into them! The buff was luck..caught blind casting. The goldeye..I had a couple others on that I didn't land. Saw quite a few dart to the surface and back down, but couldn't get them to strike. I KNOW they are there! Quillback, Johnsfolly and Ham 3

Dave I have caught a half dozen buffalo on the fly. All blind casting looking for other species. I have tried sight fishing for them on shoals but only one thing on their minds then.

My experience has been just the opposite, almost all of mine have been sight-fished, and they are typically NOT very willing to cooperate. If muskies are a fish of 10,000 casts, Smallmouth Buffalo cooperate about once every 30 muskies. 😅 I did get 9 more Freshwater Drum on the fly this weekend, too. kjackson, BilletHead, Johnsfolly and 1 other 4

Ham Posted April 21, 2021 Author Posted April 21, 2021 55) Flier, It's possible that I caught a Flier as a child and just that it was a funny looking crappie, but I have for sure caught one now. on a fly rod no less. And then 15 minutes later, lightening struck again. These were Arkansas fish. About 1/2 the drive time required to get to Mingo Swamp.
