ozark trout fisher Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Well last night something happened for me that hasn't happened yet this year... I caught my first bass and bluegill on dry flies for the year. I got out on the lake near my house for about an hour right before dark, and they were absolutely all over my #8 Dave's Hopper:bass and bluegill. There were all kinds of bugs on the water and the fish were going crazy on the surface. I didn't get any big ones, but it was still all kinds of fun. I know a hopper isn't a terribly logical fly to use in April, but it works. I don't know what they take it for, probably they are just feeding opportunistically. It's that time of year again-dig out the topwater bugs and get out on the ponds folks.
