Do you love big bluegill?
A Rio Grande Cichlid
I caught this little guy on a size #8 Catskill Green drake fly while fly fishing for bluegill, soon after last years heavy rains that flooded the Gila River basin. Seems that these fish are common on the east side of the valley and were brought down through the food waters.

Jose now that is the ugliest Bluegill I've ever seen. I'll bet them things can put up a fight.
