Bluegill on my 7 wt. not much fun. What
weight would you folks recommend for
bluegills? Thanks Skip

well, at the risk of offending the posters from such famed bluegill
(well, as we call them, brim) states as illinois and massachussets (haw haw
haw), i have caught brim steady on for hours that weigh from 1 to 2 pounds
that will put a 3wt to a very serious test. the size poppers and muddler
minnows that attract the very big ones will require a 4 or 5 wt, imho.

I use a 5wt. I find it easier to punch a big fly into a small opening between
the shoreline branches with the heavier weight, and bluegill (okay, brim) are
fiesty enough to be a lot of fun on that weight.

but i don't know **** . . .

Yeah, well, whaddayagonnado?
