Bluegill on the Fly Tonight
Did a little conventional fishing tonight, then broke out the fly rod. Caught a number of very nice blue gills on a chartreuse Wooly Bugger. Then switched to a Dave's Hopper and caught even more. Mixed in a couple of small largemouth bass as well. Overall, great night - the fly rod, weather, and company all made for a fantastic night!

Very nice. Night time fishing on a wooly, and you nailed them? Must be an active water. Any UV flashabou or attracting color beside chartreuse from tip to end?

We fished from 6:45pm until it was getting dark (around 9:15 or so). I didn't use anything except the chartreuse WB and Dave's Hopper, fly line to 10 feet of 4 lb tippet to fly. Nothing else.
It was a private pond that is fished quite a bit, but certainly not "over-fished".
Truly a great night of fly-fishing for 'gills.
Leo - thanks for your reply!

Threw two different flies from 5- 6 pm today .A Mickey Finn (Bucktail Streamer ) and a Chartruese Popper .Nothing on the Streamer a small Female and small Male on the popper .Backhand casting came in handy and the sidearm cast too.Casting is getting better and I didn't break off anything but the catching wasn't in high gear .There's always tomorrow.

Glad you had a good time. I've been having a lot of luck with wooly buggers and small (size 12-14) streamers (clouser minnows, mickey finns, and some that I don't know their name - they are that old...)
Also been having great luck with crickets / hoppers (dave's hopper) when there's no wind. If enough there's breeze to take away the "glass look", I can't get any 'gills to bite on the surface. Still a blast though!
