I do like using floating flies to catch perch for my catfishing, instead of just loading up real quick I will have some fun and use my ultralight and pitch the line with a popper or fly and catch my bait, those fish seem to love those flies.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Ya Bull Shoals is a sweet place and a very fine fishery. The Buffalo river is good. There are several others we've(my dad and I) but I would have to strain my brain to hard it been a while sense I was there.

mmm this thread generates interest. do i see a trout fishin trip comming soon?
To me it is fun to discuss a fish that i don't fish for on a regular basis, that way when I do get a chance to do it I have a better idea of what I need to do to be successful when fishing.
All the input is great, lets keep it going

Clipping from a Houston Chronicle article:
Eleven area bodies of water will receive fish this winter. The fishery can best be described as "put and take," meaning that the department wants anglers to take everything they catch. There is a five fish daily, no minimum length, limit. The average length of the fish stocked is 10 inches.
There are some good stuff on this article, and matches up with everything we discussed today.

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at the office!!!!
Good Post Algonzo they want you to catch them all because they will only live for so long because of the temperatures, trout traditionally live in cooler waters and temperatures, so if they are not caught they may not survive when the temperatures begin to warm up.

I fished them a lot in the pass when they stock them. I use corn and really small spinners. the first few days after they stock them then seem to slow down if the weather isn't cold. one thing I learn they don't have much flavor. the beat way to cook them is with the head on. It took me a while to try ti that way but Scale them and wash them good and a little salt and pepper and corn mill and they are great.
