If I recall without searching the database on here, mine took a blacknose dace.  Hard fighter too, surprisingly.

Cool fly Rob. I'll have to remember that for carp fisheries where people throw corn to them (more abundant in the Pittsburgh region than you'd imagine). However,  I think a catfish-poo fly would be a better option, per D. Walker.

Maybe the tilapia will eat corn flies

Tilapia do eat poop.

I saw something on tv a while back that catfish farms also raise tilapia because they feed the catfish poop to the tilapia thus doubling their profit..... its been a few years since I saw it so hopefully my memory serves me correctly

Tilapia supposedly eat poop. Only fitting you'd find them in 4mr. What kind of fly did eat it? One of those SHs?

I'm 98% sure that's what it was anyway.  I haven't caught it since that one time 2 years back, but someone surely will before too long.  It was either that, or an unusually large, off-color giant gourami.  Sat was average, Sun much better. 

Still has hundreds of LMB, some yellow perch, bluegill, crappie, and a few catfish.  You can catch so many fish on a fly that they'll wear the point down and destroy all the materials tied to it. 

Saw a massive catfish meandering around, but I think he was blind (cataracts, battle scars). 

Just my opinion, but the outfall sucks compared to the other spots recently.  Don't waste your life away standing there when you can be hooking up on every other cast elsewhere ;).  Unless that's what you like.
