Fisherboy0301 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks fisherboy for clearing that up. I can see why a brown trout would be interested in that fly, but a weakfish probably not. I don't know, you might could get a weakfish to eat it, and maybe some spotted seatrout too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Betty 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2014 Heading to New Orleans in November for big redfish in the marsh. The water is not always clear so dark flys are the order of the day and they have to be large as the guide says. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 All this discussion about the spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus (also known some places as the squeateague) should remind us why scientists use a Latin name system originated by Karl Linnaeus. Common names are usually misleading, referring to completely different species in various locations. When people originally emigrated from the UK to the Americas, they found a bird that looked like the English Robin, and started calling it a robin. The American "robin" is really a thrush. There are as many examples of misnamed plants and animals as there are plants and animals! For a fish example, there are "breams" found all over the world. Common and scientific names accepted by ichthyologists in the U.S. and designated by the American Fisheries Society, but in reality ichthyologists don't use those names in their scientific literature since there are too many common names that refer to multiple species, and thus the literature would mean something different to people in various locations.
