I didn't either until I researched it a little bit last week before I headed over there.  I read the below article and was amazed at how many are there..

Great fish.  I've tried a couple times half heartily to catch some on a fly there, but failed.

Thanks.  A buddy of mine said that same thing about the fly fishing.  I would think with a popper or something drug across the top slowly a guy could get one on a fly rod.  That would be a blast!

They are easily targetted in the spring when they come in to spawn I guess.   They are extremely aggressive.  It just so happens it coincided with shed hunting and everything else.   We tied flies that were a pain in the arse to throw, with tails that were 8 inches or so long.   It brings a new meaning for slogging flies.   They had a popper design for the head.  Used lots of material.  I'll have to see if I have any left.
