 Pat asked yesterday. What do you want to do tomorrow? I said let's fishing 😄. That we did. Again at our favorite place to fly fish. With all the rain lately this place is full and it has not been that way for three years. Today the target was bluegill. It took three places of trial and error to find them. But find them we did. Annoying crappie and stinkin green bass keep getting in the way. Not a bad problem though.

      We kept 40 bluegill, 15 crappie and three bass. Bluegill should be getting ready to start nesting. Out of the 40 39 were bulls. One female. It was a hoot with non-stop action. Less than three hours and we were done. I used one fly the crawfish colored Grinch bug. It was pretty shredded at the end. Pat used a chartreuse bead head bugger. But instead of hackle I make that part with Angora goat.  Also she used a crawfish colored craw I make with pine squirrel. I've done a step by step on here.  Fish were in two to three feet of water over flooded grass and weeds. After the cast you had to strip fast to stay above the weeds and grasses.

    So lots of good eats here 😉.  Two towels full. One is just bluegill and the other still had bluegill fillets with the bass and crappie,
