I looked at the cricket I posted yesterday and saw a 5 star rating. Of all the flies I have posted I can think of only one that might earn a rating. WHat is the criteria used for rating pictures? Just curious.
On the fishing side of things, the state of Oklahoma have stocked about 3100 lbs. of trout in my favorite blue gill lake. The gil get tough to catch, when they do that, but an evening hatch at the lake the ringing of the water can be trout, blue gill, bass and crappie. It is a lot of fun on small flies.

At 8:59pm on October 30, 2009, Clyde Augustus Douglass III said…: I will be surprised if you don't catch a bigger one. According to Jim G. you are the most gifted angler he has observed. I am aiming for a three pounder this spring, on a 5 weight fly rod. In your opinion which side of a three pound bluegill would be most photogenic?

He can add to discussions but can't click on some links like sign out. I have invited him to join one of the groups and he gets the invite but there is no join this group thing on the group page when he gets there. It's like part of his activites on BBG are blocked. He and I have talked on the phone and gone over everything we could think of in our settings and the groups settings and see nothing that should block him from anything. Then the comments on anyones page are blocked from him posting to. Would you see what you can do before I loose this contact with a newfound friend. I can still get up with him, but we like it here. E-mailing him would be helpful possibly so you could guide him through anything he might have screwed up.

At 5:34am on October 28, 2009, Frank Jones said…: Hey Bruce,
Thanks for all the advice on technic last Friday. After that experence I may have to put up my bass fishing tackle and take bream fishing more serious. We need to talk about how we get you in a Twin Troller.

At 4:57am on October 28, 2009, bluegillboogieman said…: Hey Bruce,
I want to be clear, I have no desire to limit any certain person's anything. Just wondered if the latest activity column could be manipulated to make all of our semi-private comments less noticable.

At 10:21pm on October 27, 2009, Clyde Augustus Douglass III said…: I would look forward to talking to you and the rest of the Friday afternoon gang about an idea Jim and I have been tossing around.

At 7:52pm on October 27, 2009, Tim Overbaugh said…: You are the bluegill king. I'm guessing your big 2.6 is a female copperhead phase bluegill. Nice!!!! If you kept it I will do you the best replica you have ever seen! Free my friend!!

At 4:26am on October 27, 2009, bluegillboogieman said…: Hey Bruce,
I like having this comment option to an individual person on the site. It is as close to semi-private as you can get on an open forum I guess. Lately though, some enthusiastic posters are filling up the latest activity column with comments to individuals. Fine with me but I feel like I miss a lot of the real latest activity such as new discussions or replies to discussions.

Can you talk to the "pooter wizard" about maybe not showing comments to individuals in that latest activity column? Then they could be even more semi-private and we'd all get more of the real "poop". Just an appetizer for your food for thought.

I went on a christian, mens retreat this past weekend in N. Mich. and dabbled briefly in the small lake for a sample bass. Otherwise my fishing has been so hard to get at this fall. It's getting cool quickly here and I'm afraid it will be ice time before things slow down for me. Hope all is well with you and your family. It's cool to have friends like yourself and all the others I've met here on BB.

At 2:31pm on October 11, 2009, bluegillboogieman said…: Bruce, on the rules blog I did. I had fun, as I do in most of my posts, but the truth is always hidden in there somewhere. I used bold letters in my interpretation of each rule so I could show I had given thought to what was expected and I was pledgeing to do. I even sollemnly swore in bold. I did this because I remember better what I write than what I read and I really do forget the simplest things sometimes. I had already read the rules a couple of times before. I get real wordy sometimes and poke fun every chance I get and feel I need to remind myself what not to do sometimes. Our rules are few, simple and wise. Here's hoping others will follow my lead and refresh their memory often.
