View CartWell it is that time of the year in Ohio when we have low water in the streams and it is not a good time to go trout fishing and stress them out. They might not make it after you caught them and release them. So try this carp or catfish. Lots of flyrodders have been carping a long time but the catfish have not been a fish that fly fisherman think of. Last week most of my fishing has been fishing for those big cats and I have been doing real well on the them. If you are fishing streams try a crayfish pattern they are very successful on cats. I have been using my 7 Wt rod on them just like I do on carp. The catfish will give you a really good fight and they are a very strong fish that you will not have to worry about releasing back and dying on you. Streamers work very well also if you match the to they prey in the stream. So next time you are sitting at home wishing for rain to bring the rivers up get out and go fishing for some catfish.
