I Tried Everything I Had Catfish on the Fly? 

Sometimes you have to take whatever you get!

I have never really enjoyed the Drum I catch but your enthusiasm about catching them has changed that for me!

I'll take cats on the fly. They're fun. If you're a C&R fisher, whatever puts a bend in the rod is great. Bass, cats, drum, gills - all fun!

I've caught quite a few when targeting crappie and bass. They're fun to catch for sure! I find wooly worms are the best, just toss them by logs and banks and watch the water churn!

Man, taking me back with that music, awesome!

I tied a bunch of Matt Bennetts Carp-it bombs, and tried my luck below a dam in Shreveport. No carp, but I learned that crappie love that fly. If anyone is trying to eat good, carp-it bomb is the way to go

Plum Park, one of my favorite access points. I was fishing down closer to Lagrange and couldn't buy a hook set on a bass either. Usually that stretch above the park is pretty good.

Holmes. That crappie, though. Dude was a hoss. Thanks for sharing.

starting to go back and rewatch a lot of your older videos as i'm starting to target warm water species out west. just gotta say you're the man and your videos have a lot of hidden gems of knowledge and tutorial if people pay close attention keep it up, thanks

My friend and I have been wanting to go for Sharp tooth catfish on the fly for a while now but we don't really wanna risk it because where we are the snags are awful and the fish size is super unpredictable, so its between carp and Vlei Kurper

I got questions about your boat trailers. Put that in a futur q&a in you want: How often do you change wheel bearings? How much a difference fresh and salt water does on your bearings? Do you know a miracles sealed bearing that can last forever? Thanks!

That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! Glad you had a good time!!

Sounds like a perfect day , like you I have six rod holders I use them all . Thanks for the video , PS snow storm 🌨:-) tonight

Cool video Alvin. Catching is catching. Some people are snobs about catching non target species. It’s all fun. Glad that you are enjoying life bud

Gotta love the last cast fish....even if it is a catfish!

I've watched your tic toks for awhile now. First fishing video I've seen. Your a well versed man explaining fly fishing. You make more since then Alot of others I've seen? I'll half to join your group, if I have a chance in income. Retired.Tight lines man

Joan Swartz - President of Texas Women's Fly Fishers, caught a huge catfish on our weekend event in Glen Rose! They fight!!!

Man I love watching the tactics here, gives me a great understanding of how I should approach my own bass this season. I would kill for some catfish up here in the NE USA. The move from NC to VT has really changed the way I fish (no doubt)

Like you, cats are not my favorite, but I regularly tie into flatheads and channel here in IL. The first time I stepped into the Holy Water section of Michigan's Au Sable at Guide's Rest I didn't make it 50ft and I hooked a bluegill. It wasn't what I was after, but it brought an ease to my cast. Thankfully one of the anglers I was there with happened to witness it, as apparently that's a pretty rare catch there and the group I was with looked at me sideways when I got to Gates and told them about the only fish I had caught. Water therapy is good no matter what you're catching. Hell, sometimes it's good even if you're not catching, but don't tell anyone I said that. Nice cat and nice crappie!

Any day on the water is a good day

Nice. Just goes to show the people who think cats are bottom feeders, they are definitely predatory. I catch cats often on paddle tail swim baits. Oh yeah I forgot to tell ya I passed my Captain’s license test.

Erin is a fly fishing catfish expert on the Brazos. No idea how she does it.

About 40 years ago I hit a shoal of catfish spawning and My friend those cats' tore flies up like Pirahna!

Nice day fishing! Thanks for sharing!

You always seem happy with a big smile on your face! 😁 I catch quite a few cats in Pedernales, usually on chartreuse clouser.. no flatheads yet though. Nice Crappie also! Have a great one Alvin 👍🎣

Great content. You inspire us all. Thank You!!!

I loved this type of content. Thanks for sharing!

That was a hefty Crappie right there!

Cool cat on a fly, Alvin. And yellow cat and Flathead are the same thing, Pylodictis olivaris. There is a yellow bullhead but that’s what it is, different and a bullhead species. Flatheads are also known as Opelousas

Was going to ask what's some unusual unitential catches while fishing on this week's Q&A. I missed last week's due to inventory week for work..fyi look into a collapsible laundry hamper they work great for a stripping basket, keeps my line from hanging up on everything or me stepping on it.

Nice Flathead!

I just caught a big cat this evening on a fluorescent pink squirmy worm🤣🤣🤣I love it😉

Bass have been tough lately, been getting a ton of refusals on the Blanco. On the brighter side the Carp are finally waking up.

This is content!

It’s “crappie” not “crappie” man! Haha nice filet on that crappie!

My x wife hated that saying, one last cast, lmao, great video keepem com n, cheers mate

Hey Alvin, what do you call those oar keeper things at the stern? I’m new to boating and would like to have something like that on my boat. Love the videos, keep them coming!

alvin man awsome vid! what boat is that?

Nice work!

What fly you catch the catfish and crappie on?

White bass season ... Do you ever get after them?

What Sink Tip and Full Sinking lines do you use?

What type of boat are you using? Motor size?
