I've also seen Quillback in that same spot...but I haven't seen them since. There is a much deeper pool a little downstream where I've seen Quillback. The only difficulty there is the number of Rockbass in the same pool.

Will keep Bon Echo in mind. Thanks.

I don't know anyone who has caught a Bloater or Kiyi hook and line. I've some sick obsession to try it one day...but none of my boater friends (with adequate size boats) are interested in such low percentage game...but maybe I can ask my friend Richard to explore such exploit if he takes one of his Point A to Point B pleasure boating trip...maybe I can convince him to drift out in 300 feet for a day. He does have a nice cruiser that can handle some big waters out there.

I would probably need 8oz of weight, 30lb braid, some #12 hooks and pieces of clams for bait (read they eat small clams)

Would love to catch a Bloater and post it on Roughfish.

Lol a photo of you on there holding a stringer of bloater...


On a more serious note, it might actually be possible if you can find out where they spawn and if that happens to be similar to a location where more common members of the whitefish family spawn...shallow windswept lake margins, rocky streams, etc.
If they're deep water spawners, forget it.
