Bread Fly Gets a Bruiser....

Decided to try another variation of a Bread Fly we made several years ago.  Last time we used the inner core of polypropylene rope.  This time, we used a dubbing loop to wrap White Marabou and Mallard Cul De Canard feathers on to a Size 2 Baitholder Hook. 


 Went to Bethany Lakes and chummed with Saltine Crackers, then cast the Bread Fly to the area.  Had several takes but no hook ups, then finally got a solid hookup on a Bruiser Catfish that went 22" in size.  Not bad, seemed fatter than most, too!


Unfortunately, Turtles and Ducks made it tough to keep the are chummed.  Switched to fishing with Bread for bait because it would sink before they could get to it.  Caught Bluegill and little Catfish; no more Bruisers!
