...was nymph and indicator fishing with a bright green/red corky in a lake yesterday and actually had a fish rise to my corky! Sheesh--some fish'll eat anything!

Last winter steelie fishing my buddy and I had half a dozen hits between us on our floats--we usually used dink floats in the smaller size, but he had one hit a huge white and red weighted styro float, too. A couple of the hits we were sure were dollies, and one my buddy swore was a sucker. A sucker? Hitting a surface (misre)presentation?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm tying my surface muddlers for summer runs too small...has anyone else had this happen? Should I try tying a hook into a dink float and swinging it over summer runs?

Another day lake fishing I noticed a fish sipping powerbait off the surface (it was one of those kind of lakes) and rigged up a larger hook with a big gob of powerbait and tossed it out there and wouldn't you know it? I caught a fish with a powerbait dry fly!
