smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2009 What flies work well on Bullhead (brown bullhead to be exact)? I plan on giving them a go (they are very common where I fish, although I have never gotten one on the fly) next year, and I would like to stock up on some working patterns. Anyone else fish for bullhead? What do they like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexC 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2009 We have a small pond in our neighborhood that is loaded with them. My son does pretty well getting them with brown woolly buggers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexC 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2009 To add to what I said before, he usually does the best in the early summer by sight fishing for them. He'll slowly walk around the edge of the pond until he sees one swimming. Then he'll dap the fly in and sort of jig it around. Usually he'll get an eat w/in the first couple jigs, then just lift the fish out of the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
