Flies for Bluegill
Started fly fishing early this summer, to get in some casting practice I would slip off to a small pond and ended up catching a few Bluegills. Started off with trout in mind but now I am not sure I am not having more fun fishing for Bluegills. Am I alone in this???

I ain't but a stones throw from Columbia, Alabama. Had to look up Columbiana. Your up above Montgomery, almost yankee territorry aint it?
Your blog asked a question and most blogs on here are just people talking to hear themselves talk. I'm one of the worst. If you want to get some good back and forth with just about any kind of question to do with Bluegill, go to the discussion tab and post a question there.
If you want to ask a sort of private question you go to that persons page and ask it there as a comment. Everybody can see it, but they have to go to that persons page to do it.
That being said, here goes. Is your place in NC in the mountains? Does it have a trout stream running by it? Can I borry it when you ain't there?
