right on man my buddy introduced me to suckers on a fly rod and i have been hooked ever since. especially when you catch them in the 5lb plus mark they are an awsome fight. i even target them for fun more then trout now.

Thanks for the lesson

No problem! I was surprised also, pretty sure I could have caught one on a dry fly if I tried hard enough lol

I thoroughly enjoyed your latest video. Also like Bigwoodsman would have never guessed a sucker would go for a fly. Guess a guy is never to old to learn something new.
