My jon boat went on the sale block today. I do bank, wade, and kayak fish.
I've even been known to frequent a fishing barge or two!

Never been to cooper but this makes me want to get out there.

I'm a newbie to the fly. James, would a 6wt be ok out there?

Probably heading back to Fork if anyone wants to join me send a pm.


A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

I'm heading over to Tyler for a birthday party for one of my kids' friends, so I'm thinking of hitting Tyler SP. I've heard it's a nice paddle.


Nissley's recommendation for a natural high: kayak fishing

I would recommend at least a 6 or 7wt. Floating line.
I use a variety of flies depending on how the fish are staging.
Large poppers for schooling fish. Clousers for fish staged no deeper than 8-10 feet.
Heavy clousers or streamers on sink tip line for fish staged deeper (up to 40ish feet).
I've recently tied some large streamers that rattle to imitate a Rattle Trap.

I'd like to see that Jerry. This is one I came up with. Used sili-skin with a bit of lead wire to weight it.

I like those!!!
These also work really well. They are heavy enough to get deep enough into the water column and the glass beads rattle very nicely. Hopefully imitating a Rattle Trap sound. They also are long and flashy.

I might try texoma again. Has anyone ever pitched a tent on the islands or know if it's allowed?

Since Im broke and cant afford gas to palces like Fork, etc. ill be sticking to the local waters. Probably the Trinity River in and around Fort Worth. Been having good luck on topwaters early hoping they will be fired up this weekend. Good luck to everyone fishing!
