Very good, but a great many are too small to bother with. Also quick to hit any of the popular artificial bream baits, such as tiny spinners, jigs, popping bugs and small sinking flies. Probably statewide, but most are caught in North Florida. Swamp ponds, sloughs and other backwaters. Fliers often share habitat with the Warmouth, which is another species that prefers still water and isn't as particular about the quality of that water as other Bream types would be.
Sides are dark with belly usually cream-colored or light red.
Peppered with small black spots. Seldom more than 6 inches. Good, but small and bony. Small size makes them easy to haul out of the water on virtually any kind of Bream-fishing tackle. Fliers are never targeted, except perhaps by children, and so pole and worms are the usual combination.
