The Big O

Post by ChrisR »

I'm going to fish Lake Okechobee out of Clewiston on Sunday. I will be targeting mostly panfish and bass. I am currently planning on bringing:

Foam ants/Grasshoppers/Beetles
Brown and black Wooly Buggers
Something similar to Crappie Candy
EP Baitfish
Various Clousers


Any other fly suggestions? Any suggetions of where the fish are? I assume it will be tough with high water, but don't know exactly what to expect.

I would take a big frog imitation and some kind of big deerhair popper.

Dont forget a small green popper with white legs. Those things are crack for panfish!

If you lookin' to catch a big ol' bucketmouth then get yourself a decent size mouse fly. Big bass love 'em ... seriously.

Deerhair poppers and sliders, preferably with rubber legs coming off them.
