Keith that's great - you may find like I have that older HSB are easiest to catch on pellet flies. Unless its a young fish, they largely ignore artificials, but I can still get them on nose hooked shiners and fhm on a slip float. I think the body condition looks solid especially just coming out of Winter. Mine are hitting the feeder now - good to see them again. Are you feeding yet? My water temps are low 50s and even the BG are hitting.
