Have you ever caught channel cats on a fly rod?  Well, believe me it is fun!The one below, however was caught on a jig and Berkley craw in brown and orange.  I was fishing for the elusive large crappie in the pond, but again I failed to locate them.  I did manage to catch some of the smaller crappie but gave up when it was  getting late in the day when I switched to hunt for bass.  I manage to catch only two bass, a four lb and a two lb on the jig and craw and the cat shown.  The cats were 3-4 lbs. 

I used a tripod to hold and point the camera.  But when I tried to capture the bass with the camera for a picture, I didn’t realize that the sun was at my back and all I got was a bright washout for a picture. 

Catching the cats on the fly rod was a real blast, they just don’t want to give up.  I caught them on a orange Strike KIng baby craw pre rigged on a #6 hook.  I was using it to probe for bass or large crappie under the over hanging shoreline brush.  It seems that the orange color is the preferred color lately.  Well, I’ll keep trying and having fun.  Tight lines.
