Many of the wisest of the old timer flyfshermen on the Cape fish with a Hornberg on their leader and a crayfish dropper while pursuing trout. Pickerel hit wooley buggers and deceivers with abandon. Largemouths go for the WB and Dahlberg Divers, poppers, and terrestrial lookalikes. Sunnies, and we have big 'uns, start by jumping small wets in prespawn and graduate to the surface for small poppers and Yellow Humpies in warmer water. The biggest sunfish are deep in the summer and like leeches and microjigs.
Perch prefer flies with yellow in 'em, nymphs, little streamers and scud patterns.
