Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} targeting the crashing catfish

Regan, 

From my observations they are mostly quillback. They are schooling in the big eddy above the bridge- on the bottom. Toss that airflo skagit head with a small fly and see what happens. We got one last year on a shad fly.

So last year and this year, while swinging flies with my two-hand rod for shad, the fish crashing the surface around and above Fletcher's have me wondering.

The guys at the boathouse say they are catfish.

Has anyone been able to successfully target these fish on the fly?  If so, what was the pattern(s)?

Are these fish feeding? Attacking some small prey fish? Or just doing a fish thing we folk don't understand?

It looks like it would be wonderful fun to hook into one these, especially the very large ones I have occasionally seen.

Thanks, Regan
