      @flybob Thanks for the tip. I can throw a cricket or wooly booger in the bed, they just swim out, come right back in and ignore the fly! Even the live worms!!!

      @wyldechylde77 Cool. I was wondering if there was a specific fly for bedding fish. Thanks

      Luckily, I got just the ticket for ya 😉 San Juan Worms. I'll tag you in my blerts of ones that I've tied. Easy as heck, bud 😉

      That's why we went to red wigglers. These guys get lockjaw when on the bed. I would rather fish for a bass on the bed than a brim any day. Maybe I just don't ...more have the right fly figured out yet!

      @lainedillard @wyldechylde77 Thanks gang. It definitely has a band across its forehead n cheek area. Water was not real muddy but she might have been out in the ...more grass. We struggled getting bites so...

      Best way to identify a Coppernose is to look for the copperish band across it's forehead. Live bait on the fly rod, huh? Haha, I've done it myself. A bit ...more tough to cast, but doable. Nice job bud!

      Coppernose is right looks like maybe if it was in middy water or something mad it's colors fade

      @lainedillard can you help on ID. Coppernose is closest pic I could get to for comparison
