All fish gotta start from the egg at sometime.
I've heard a lot of people catching Common and Golden off of the fly, on super light tackle. One guy even had a slip float setup to get em for his forage fish collection for College. Such a cool idea.
I find commons and goldens are super versatile for all sorts of fish. On Quinte over the summer, my buddy and I will tie a 4-6 incher on to a egg sinker with a circle hook, toss it as far into the bay as we can, sit on the dock with a few beers and watch the bass, pike and sheephead hammer em.
