They aren't really picky. Any wooly bugger plump style pattern will work. Certain times of the year they are easier to catch than others. In May and August they become really aggressive for some reason. Not sure why exactly. It could be their spawning times. Possibly because May is the first time the water really heats up and late August the water is at it's highest temperature.

Nice fish, and well done on taking the little one with you.

One thing about starting a family someday that I'm really looking forward to is the chance to hopefully pass on my love for the outdoors to my kids. I've never caught a catfish on the fly, any suggestions on how to do it?Joseph Hordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194221276611826781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148053610537598768.post-22701220536256015792013-05-13T13:46:43.351-07:002013-05-13T13:46:43.351-07:00Awesome job with the daughter!

The picture doesn't do a good job of this but you could tell by the head and color pattern that it wasn't a copperhead. We have brown water snakes here and they are huge. They make a copperhead look like a baby. I saw one on the Haw that I thought was a boa constrictor some one had releasedFeather Chuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816824282816730471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148053610537598768.post-16733140069377475252013-05-12T20:35:56.106-07:002013-05-12T20:35:56.106-07:00Dude, that was awesome.

You know your local snakes better than I do, but the BW snakes we had growing up in Florida were much darker with rounder heads and less distinctive markings.
