My wife got me a year membership to Private Water Fishing for my birthday. It has worked out well. Last weekend I went to the Six O Ranch near Cleburne, Texas. Caugh many coppernose bluegill. I had never seen such large bluegill. They were all around 10+" long. I had brought my 8 wt. expecting bass, but the bluegill were more fun. And with the heavy line, I did not have to worry about babying my fly or line.

Caught some smallies on my new 4wt last weekend. So awesome. I had a 6wt up until last week. I really love the 4. Really good casting distance and really fun landing decent fish.

Nice looking squirrelly, Tim.

Tuesday was my last day (for that trip) at Lake LBJ. Didn't feel like launching the kayak, so I went to a park. The first dozen casts brought a dozen fish to hand, almost all in the 8-10 inch range (only one was around 7 inches). Then it slowed down. In the hour and a half I was there, I brought 23 gills to hand, and lost 3 (the little monsters held on 'til they got close, but were never hooked - I HATE being teased like that). :-D

The bead chain eyes do help it ride point up, and adds the weight for a slow fall, I don't like my flies to fall to fast, when the gills and crappie are deep I use barbell lead, and tungsten eyes.

Tim H. Nice fly! Just curious... With the bead chain eyes, does that tend to make the hook point ride up upon retrieving? If so, I guess that would make it more "weedless".

went fly fishing today for some bluegill. we didn't get anything. they weren't striking at all. at least not where we were. bummer.

Hope your weather improves, we are getting plenty of rain, but the water is warm and the gills are on the beds here, I'm wearing them out on my days off.
