Took advantage of a warm winter's day, and thought I would see if some bluegill were active in the creek near my house. I bought some new fly poppers, and wanted to dust off the fly rod. I had no real idea what to expect. The water was nice and clear, I decided to use the fly that was previously tied on, and did not open the pack of poppers. I did find a couple holes, clearer water sure does help in that aspect. I was not able to entice anything to accept my fly, it was sinking into the deep. I tried a crankbait on a spinning rod. I had no intention of it working, and it didn't. My son did get to take out his kayak, and practice casting also. I only walked about 500 yards. I enjoyed the workout the flyrod gave me. I really cant wait until spring. I know of a few new to me places, and maybe, just maybe I can get my second fish on it.
