The strongest fresh water fighters are, I think, Channel Catfish.
And you can easily catch them on a flyrod--although not so easily
with flies. To catch channel cats I use a long strip of fresh
pork skin (not smoked) threaded onto a plastic worm rig,
with a split shot at the eye of the hook. Channel Cats don't jump, but
they sure do pull, and they never give up. A spinning rod might
work better than the flyrod, by the way.....but I don't even own one.
So I use what I have.

Well, that and wondering how they'll pronounce "pince nez"...

For the record I do not wear pince-nez, but I have been known
to glance disapprovingly over the tops of my half-frames.
