Midge flies for Gills 1 Reply

Comment by Steve Crowder on March 18, 2011 at 3:28pm: Thanks guys. Always enjoy fly fishing for CN's, especially when I can get down to the black rivers in South Carolina and Georgia. Sharon, I do not know! As I don't have a tape measure or scales in my boat. Guess I need to hit BassPro and get something to measure with!!!

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on March 16, 2011 at 6:06pm: Welcome, Steve! What's the biggest CN you have caught?

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on March 12, 2011 at 12:18pm: Welcome to the group for world's most beautiful bluegill Walt and Jeff!

Comment by 10.5" RES Sharon on March 9, 2011 at 7:42pm: Two members good. I should have sent an invite to all members when I set up this group. Now, I don't see any way of doing that. Guess they will have to find it on their own. Welcome to the group.

You know Sharon, we might end up being the only members of this group. I mean you don't fish for this sub-species any different than a regular Northern Bluegill, nor do they taste any different... But, they sure do seem to grow larger and faster and I think they are just beautiful.
