Some of what you see are quillback carp, like Rob said, but the vast majority of large explosions on the surface are blue catfish. Quillback come up and touch the surface and quickly swim back down. They don't make much of a splash. Not sure what the catfish are doing or how you could catch them.--

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
