Fun day on the bank. Fly line frenzy.

Carl...I saw a lot of fish in and out of the beds today. The wind helps break up your profile here and allows you to 'wind drift' a small earthworm over the bedding areas below a bobber.

Also, larger, roe-heavy females remain in slightly deeper water just a few yards out away from the beds. The locals who fish here don't seem to know about the bluegill spawn and what's going on.

Nice! Our water temps here in mid michigan are struggling to stay in the sixties.
