Do you love big bluegill?

Caught a few fish on this old rig. You can see a Tooty bug hanging out of his mouth. I could see them hitting the top but they wouldn't hit a floating sure. the would take this slow sinker.

BEAUTIFUL LOOKING GILL KEITH;;  AND A OLD TOOTY BUG DOES WORK GREAT !!  YOU REALLY NEED TO TRY;; A POPPING BUG; WITH A DROPPER !!

common for them to act like that in the spring keith.i think they are eating emerging insects this time of year.keep your tip near the surface and watch your line.the first fish i caught on a fly i was stunned that it actually worked.try to get surface bugs near bushes or under trees.like a bug that fell in.
