I'm new here in the south and have been experimenting on Bream and LMB with every fly I've got. It seems that large bream will take the poppers and very agressively when the LMB won't. But the eye opening thing is that these fish will take just about every dry fly I have for trout and even steelhead streamers!.. I used one yesterday morning (steelhead streamer pattern) my old fishing buddy gave me and caught LMB after another. Big surprises! I also think the spring season has been a good one with me pulling in 30-40 fish days of large bream(9-10") and 10-12"LMB. I saw a bruiser yesterday swing by the bank but I was just stalking. Now the next goal is to start on the big daddies. I'm thinking from a boat( I live on a small lake) with some deep and large lures eh?? With the weather warming up the fishing is slowing down a lot so I'm looking into some speckled trout and redfish to substitute.
