Yeah...seriously.

Hey everybody - long time no talkie-talkie. Having a second daughter and moving to a hot, dry, flat state will suck the fly-fishing chattiness right out of you.

Now that life has settled down and we've managed to dodge the latest set of tornadoes to go through Norman, I want to find where all my fly fishing stuff is packed and get out and do a little fly fishing.

I know there's some cold water fishing to be had in some tail waters in the far reaches of the state from Nov-Mar, but I want to be able to go out for an afternoon and not a day. Which means I'll be tossing in warm water.

My question is - I have no experience fishing warm water. I assume there's bass and bluegill and who knows what in the lakes and ponds in central Oklahoma...what do I toss at them? I'm assuming that all the copper johns and PMDs I've tied over the past couple of years will need to be replaced by something else...any ideas?

THANKS in advance...
