suckers...

just my opinion; i didnt see the rest of the thread; but IMO i believe the guy was actually being serious in catching suckers on FLIES. i did see two serious responses; like i said though, i dont know how it ended... i'll leave it at that

btw... to the original poster; i bet a brassy (caddis shuck) wrapped with copper wire would work if presented properly in front of a sucker on his feeding flat; as well as the san juan worm as mentioned by another gentleman previously. i do believe the san juan worm should be tied with a softer chenille ratrher than stiff though. good luck...

What happened to the other thread on suckers?

My thread got moved to the fisherie board, thanks for the serious responses. I am serious about catching a doz or so for flathead bait their only bout a foot long tops not sure what species of sucker they are but their mouths have to be tiny. Like too small for a piece of crawler tiny. I have a small assortment of flies I use occasionally for gills and for float/fly for steelhead. I've put some of the smaller ones in my box for the next time I get to that spot. Again, thanks a bunch. I know its laughable to some of u guys to Target such a lowly fish but hey, its just bait to me. I usually target panfish for the same purpose.

The suckers scattered from where they were schooled up the last time I was at this spot. I couldn't keep anything away from the panfish. Thanks again for the info guys ill keep trying.
