Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Am just making up a batch for spring trout camp, thought I'd share. Ya need a 2 or 2 1/2 gallon ziplock baggie. Gorilla tape, or of course, duct tape. The handy mans secret weapon ! you use @ 4" of tape to re-inforce upper corner near zip opening. You use a paper punch to make hole in middle of tape swatch. You use a shower curtain clip to go thru punched hole and connect to belt loop. Enough for limit of little brook trout,etc.. You owe me a beer if ya use this ! steve b

Hey Steve, I'll probably owe ya a beer after tomorrow morning! Great idea on the creel,I'll be heading out for the PA opener (near Pittsburgh) and rarely keep any,but your handy,dandy creel will allow me to pack 2-3 away for my 90 yr old mom (who loves trout)! Plus it'll fit with the rest of my economical tackle -pliers, 2 or 3 spare jigs, and my ultralight! YOU have a great day out there, weather seems perfect! JOHN
Am home from camp, Elk co., Pa.. Full limits of 10-14 Brookies, some type of hybrbeds mixed in to. Creels again worked great, just big enough for 5 trout. steve b
Oops ! 10-14 INCH brookies. Limits consist of 5 fish per day, 10 in possesion after first day. I brought home 10. I mentioned length due to changes in stocking procedures over the yrs in Penn. Used to be allowed 8 fish, but they'd be 8-10". Kinda like the change, fewer fish, but larger. Same budget to raise. steve b
