We catch lots of drum on flies up here (southern Manitoba). They strike and fight hard and I think they're kinda pretty, in a homely sort of way! I've caught 'em on minnow immitations (especially clausers), leech patterns and nymph patterns. A good one for me is a #4 yellow leech tied with a marabou tail (and a few strands of yellow crystal flash), a yellow sparkle dub body, dubbed as fuzzy as I can get it and bead chain eyes (White is a good variation to have, too). My best luck has been fishing cross-current, drifting it into holding areas. The key is to fish along the bottom, especially if the water is turbid. They fight hard and we can get 'em 24" (5# +). I go out of my way to fish for them...TIM
