Frogs and Beavers

Frogs and Beavers. Sounds like a story about pond play, I know, but it's actually about Lake Neely Henry, an riverine Alabama lake that impounds the Coosa River. You see, Fred Roumbanas worked a Snag Proof Bobby's Perfect Frog across the top and flipped a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver to win this weekend's PAA Tour event at Neely Henry.

Roumbanis targeted shallow banks with scattered water willow and credited fellow Oklahoma pro Gerald brown with helping him hone in on the pattern. The beaver produced the bulk of his weighed fish, but the frog yielded a couple of important bass.
