Do you love big bluegill?
hello the forum
from far west Texas.
i am really looking forward to this site. i have spent most of my life outdoors. Fly rod or camera in hand. Often both. (and smart phones makes this simpler than ever). I am also very comfortable at the tying bench.
looking forward to visiting here and with you all.

besides the thousands of trout flies i've tied (actually worked professionally at this for a period of time in the 70's)... i enjoy deer hair flies and bugs. a recent one, need to scale em down for gills. (grin)

one more photo and i'll be introduced.
i am going to be out of my element for the next few months, i'll be in southeast Texas. did a little scouting last week down there. found a little slough that looked good. i like to search around with a large bug to see what is interested (even if they can't get their mouths around it). picked up about a dozen of these small lm bass. what a blast. i know there are bluegills there. i'll definitely go back.
