Do you love big bluegill?
Caught a bunch of 'gills today!!!
Winds were dead-calm to maybe 3 mph, generally from the south. Not sure of the water temp. Cloudy.
Tied on a size 10 Deer Hair Caddis to use as an indicator, with a size 12 BH Flashback Scud in orange about 8" below the DHC. My 5wt rod, overlined with a WF6F Bass Taper line was on fire today. I'm throwing more and more line with each day, and I'm not even using a double haul!
Well, I started catching fish, maybe not "like crazy", but they were definitely in a feeding mood. I saw several surface takes as the 'Gills were taking midges as they hatched. I can't see my Griffith's Gnats at that distance, so I'm not using them. I had a several fish take a slap at the DHC, but no solid hookups. All fish caught were caught on the Scud.
Dick Tabbert, I want to thank you for mentioning the use of the color orange for Scuds.
I'll try and get a pic later tonight of the bug I'm using.

Average size. You can see that in the pics I uploaded. I'm waiting for the Hybrid sunnies to start biting. I thought I had one today, but whatever it was got off.
