Bob Gaines Bluegill Fly Fishing
"Bob, 5 of us will be fishing Lake Perris with flies this April 11-17. Is there any way I can have a conversation with you? I grew interested in Perris from the Cal Fly mag article. Mike 408-807-4340"

"I just noticed that this fish looks like it was hit by a fish-eating bird when it was younger and survived. Quite a scar it's got."

"Hi Jeff, fishing has been really good this week- non-stop bite when I've been out there. Been fishing 4:30 - 7:30 pm. from my float tube in the far east end. Caught that big one on Tuesday, it's my personal best!"

"Way to go Bob! What a Bluegill! How was fishing overall? It was over 100 degrees today. Pretty hot to be on the water after 10 AM. You sure don't need to wear waders in that warm water!"

Hi Mr. Gaines... My name is Rob...
I fish Perris every chance I get... but haven't tubed it in a while since Bernasconni has been closed until very recently.
I've admired your catches at Lake Perris, you obviously have applied due dilliegence.
You are obviously fishing the timber which means lost tackle presumambly. I am curious whether you use a sink tip or not? or a floating line and lots of patience.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
