I’ve fished a lot of ponds here in Florida that are full of cats looking for bass on a wooly bugger but never hooked one. Do you bounce the wooly bugger off of the bottom?

Have never fished for them with a flyrod but have caught several over the years.Best was fishing a big nuke power plant cooling lake for smallmouths in the boulder rip rap.Cauvht at least 20 cats on the same olive and white clouser.Managed maybe 2 bass.It was great sport tho

A lot of times I'll just hang the wooly off an indicator about 12/14" or even 18" down.

I have been catching bullheads when crawling flies near the bottom.For years it was rare to catch a bullhead.When i was a kid that was mostly what we caught, then they just disappeared for many years til last couple.There are some good catfish ponds nearby but cant get a fly deep or far enough.Bullheads will thrive in more marginal water.

I got a couple of smaller cats on bait last weekend, on a Colorado river canoe trip down in Utah.
But this is how my catfishing usually goes..
