Caught these along with enough to make a couple of messes of fish on Seminole this past week. They averaged about a half pound apiece and a good many of them were "painted" bream. Them thangs are fun to catch, and mighty good eating.
I am into lightweight/UL flyrods. Have a 00, 1 and two 3 weights, all Sage. While I enjoy the 00 and the 1, the 3 weight is probably ideal for bream. Allows you to throw a decent size popper with distance, while still enjoying the fight.
