I know this topic has come up a few times on this forum, but not this exact question as near as I can tell.
Anyways... I'm camping out at Daingerfield SP next weekend. Is it too early for pickerel on the fly? I've read a couple places that's its mostly a winter fishery, and it's been mostly warm lately.
I was planning to rent a canoe/boat and throw streamers (clousers, deceivers, seaducers) around the lily pads on my 5 wt. Any other suggestions? Topwater froggies?
Thanks

You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I have found that the most productive fly for pickeral is the bent back streamer because it will glide across the moss beds without gathering moss; the piks lay in that moss and attack any movement near them that imitates baitfish. Works on Dangerfield, Caddo, and Lake Hawkins-p-

I've caught them there this time of yr, you should have no problem. Should pick up a few bass too
Not my favorite fish to catch, but it is fun to sight fish them..
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart
