I'll definitely be picking your book up. I have a book titled "Fly Fiishing The Gulf Coastal Streams 1920-1965". There is a ton of info on fishing south Al and North Fl rivers. Much of it is still relevant today. I have been catching red eyes on the upper Choctawhatchee for almost 40 years. I have been told they aren't actually red eyes, but they look just like the pics I see.
Yea, those are not true redeye bass. They are only native to the Coosa, Tallapoosa, Cahaba, Black Warrior, and Chattahoochee rivers in Alabama. Specifically above the Fall Line in those drainages. There is species of spotted bass in the Choctawahatchee called Choctaw bass. I grew up down there in Geneva, AL.
