Do you love big bluegill?
20 minute blast
Caught these 3 and one I couldn't even turn I'm thinking it was one of my hybrid strippers on the 2wt this evening on my Dragon fly nymph.This one was a 10 hen the 1st fish 1st cast.
This was a 7" yellow perch on the dragon fly nymph.
Another small gill. Was out for about 20 minutes and 5 minute of that I had to go back to the house and get the camera.

I believe I missed it when you posted them before. Could you do a few more pics and offer some details of construction?

As you wish but still working on the pattern.

Must have been fun on the 2 wt. Dick , good for you buddy.........

It was I can't deny it a blast I'm really lovin the 2 wt. I know it's not got the backbone for some of the other fish that are lurking but the others are lots of fun and I do love the flex and bend they put in the rod.

Don't know Dick. Greghopper and others managed to land pretty hefty looking beasts on a 2wt. I'm a brute when it comes to delicate things, so, I probably break it without knowing it's a toothpick.

All I can say is so far I've had 3 hybrid strippers on the first one took all my backer of and broke off the 2nd broke off at about 50' out I think I kept the tension a little bit to tight and the 3rd was a good run and the hook came out. So I'm not doing very good on the stripper department but still trying.

WOW! How much backing did you have? I loaded mine up with close to 180yd of backing, plus the 33yd of WF. 7lbs carp nearly stripped all of my backing.

apparently not enough backing.

plus they are more experienced than I but it's all fun I just love the flex and bend in the rod and want to be careful not to overbend but i guess with my lightweight tippet I should be OK anyway.
