It was drained only 2-3 years ago, and restocked, so the bass are small...
But the red ears were 8-10" and a ball on my ultralight.
I've been using a casting bobber with a fly tied about 5 feet behind it. The casting bobber allows my ultralight to cast a fly 80-90 feet, and a real slow retrieve makes the fly bounce on the surface or just below it.... Apparently deadly to red ear/shellcrackers. Not sure what type of fly.... I bought a box of like 50 flies at a yard sale for $2, and have been using them... This was white and fluffy, if that helps.
No pics, but a dozen of these red ear came out to play. Only 2 were below 8", the biggest was a little more than 10". Lots of fun.
I frustrated a local (who was catfishing) by releasing the red ear.... He asked, politely, for any over 8", so I gave him my last 3-4 fish. He was very happy.
A great evening.
