Dick, I would be happy to share idea's and help in any way I can. Fishing for gills on a flyrod is so much fun. Love it!

Dick, Thanks for the welcome. I am looking forward to learning about Big Blugill. I love fishing for gills with flyrods. My largest, so far, was caught in a mill pond on the eastern shore of Maryland. It's a 12" Bluegill. In fact my picture is the fish. 

Thanks Dick

I fished Union lake lot summer and winter until we moved to Arizona in 79.

I am ready for a big mess of bluegills though.

Hey Dick,  looks like an interesting site sorrrry can't help out with the gps spots. Gladly take any of your own to see how to do that.

Thanks  for the welcome and accepting my friend request. Looking forward to using the site as a tool to keep improving, as well as to see some big fish pictures.

thanx for the welcome! pretty cool place, love them gills...been tryin to post some pics, but unable. maybe because of using my wifes tablet.

I already love what im seeing i have enough gill fishin stories, including some that did not turn out to well for me- you know the days when the fish win, and they have to win some times, its our job although tuff as it is- to keep these days to a minimum.  Look what just happened i said that i was going to close my lips but it is like a fire burning with in i cant stop talking about gills.  Go get em dick.

Thanks for accepting my friend request.Really love the site.You know while i like fishing for other species of fish,there isnt anything like fishing for gill.Really beautiful fish with all the diffrent colors they take throughout the seasons.

Thanks for the warm welcome, just wish it was warm outside.

Thanks Dick.  I look forward to exploring the site!

Hello Dick. I am also from Ohio, born and raised in Toledo but currently living in North Carolina. My father is still in Toledo and is a avid bluegill/crappie fisherman. He fishes in and around Lake Erie about 5 days a week all year round. We are currently planning a crappie trip to Kerr Lake in Virginia and also a trip to Santee Cooper this spring to chase those Shellcrackers!

Hello Dick, yalls  site  makes my mouth water. Love Gills and Crackers, are my favorite period.New to computer world, found site on my first smart phone 3 weeks ago.At library now drooling.Have some pics on old phone but still computer dummy. Use mostly live bait and versions of a jig tied in Huntsville that is deadly. I stumbled into the Jigging Rap (1 1/4 ") last spring for spotted bass after taking some Gills in on overpopulated small lake.  Do you ever use these targeting fish in prespawn and if so with what results. Hope your arms get sore often, steve clark.

Hi Dick;

  In the mid 70S I worked on an oil rig in that area. We stayed at Tomahawk State

Forest Camp ground. I caught enough bluegills for a couple meals. My wife & I used to look for elk there, Great area.

Hey Dick; Thank you for welcoming me to this site. I am picking my way around. Looks like a great site. I usually fish bluegill in the ice out months. I fish for pike & crappy during winter. I live @ Buckley Mi. It's between Traverse City & Cadillac.

HEY BUDDY,

  I USE #10 dry fly hooks with an 1/8" hollow metal bead from Janns. Been using mustads for years and the old number is 94840 on the hoooks. I use strung marabou and then take out a feather and nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnever use the quill, it's too big of course for spinning em.

thanks for the welcoming to the site.kind a new to this computer stuff.been bluegillin for a bit thow

thank you for the warm welcome, hopefully i can add something useful to the site and learn some new tricks as well.

again sir thanks for the welcome to this net site. Im a lot like my favorite tv heros i guess you call it;; Red Skelton; and Abbout and Castillo. Love to laugh and make others laugh as well. hoping to make a ton of friends here, and learn as much as i can.I had to take to much time from fishing and other sports just now getting back into it. Wanting to know how to use the flies better than i do now, like mending the line drifting flies fly selection do I use a top water or sinking fly. So as you can see  I have a lot of questions and needing help. Not to mention; any help on fly tying would be terrific!

A big thanks!  You gave me the direction I needed to go on to start to obtain what I need.  I;m sure I will have many more questions but now have a way of getting these answers.
