Congrads on your first catch.....

thanks- very exciting stuff!


It will get better it won't be long before you
are looking around and saying looks like a spinner fall or they were
hitting on
tan caddis last night...

i will be happy when i get to the point where i can *read* such things- i am
beginning to learn my way around, and much of ya'll's posts make so mcuh
more sense to me now- except of course for most of for ...............well
never mind G



We have millions of blue gill around here i could catch
them all day long if i wanted to.......I am not trying to step on anyones
toes
here but i find that in Ct. i use flies that have been beat to death by
trout
on blue gill and bass and crappie...I have a Plueger (sp) 5wt at my camp
here
last year one night i caught two largemouth bass in excess of 2lbs on a
#12
grey fox.....I have used BWO's sulpurs, march browns,caddis almost
anything
will work but then i have never heard of stocking bluegills...... Where I
have
lived all my life they are plentyful matter of fact downright
pesky........Make
a nice cast to where you think a bass will be and bang a friggin bluegill
and
another and another well you get the drift.....Don't get yourself into the
idea
that spiders are the only thing that will catch bluegill if spiders don't
work
try a dry fly try a wet fly try anything you happen to have in your
vest....

thanks- i'll remember that, as i said earlier, i need all the tips i can
get.


Best of luck on your flyfishing apprenticeship...Watch out for that
Opie guy he won't admit it but he does know his way around a
flyrod..........


and i hope he will teach me-wouldn't want to show up in october looking like
a newbie ;-)
ya hear that op?
ya gotta make me look good...........
