Do you love big bluegill?
I admit to being a addict
To bluegills that is.Love to catch them and eat them.
I really like this site,but I don't understand how it works.I make fly rod lures of balsawood.I enjoy fishing for all fish,but the members of the "Sunfish Family" are what I enjoy the most.I'd like to show some
of my work and some of my catch.
This is where I started 24 years ago,with poppers.I make these in #14 - 10/0.
I would like to send more,but I can't seem to be able to upload any more photos.
Any advice??

That's great work and lots of it when you start with balsa stock....carving, sanding,primer, paint, feathers,....you are the man!
