Caught and released this monster Bluegill fly fishing at Lake Perris, CA from my float tube. Just shy of 13 inches!

Bob, 5 of us will be fishing Lake Perris with flies this April 11-17. Is there any way I can have a conversation with you? I grew interested in Perris from the Cal Fly mag article. Mike 408-807-4340

I just noticed that this fish looks like it was hit by a fish-eating bird when it was younger and survived. Quite a scar it's got.

Hi Jeff, fishing has been really good this week- non-stop bite when I've been out there. Been fishing 4:30 - 7:30 pm. from my float tube in the far east end. Caught that big one on Tuesday, it's my personal best!

Way to go Bob! What a Bluegill! How was fishing overall? It was over 100 degrees today. Pretty hot to be on the water after 10 AM. You sure don't need to wear waders in that warm water!

"Busiest day on the water in 2026……saved a large dog from drowning, was able to locate the owner….deer swimming across the river ….68 fish.."
"Hit a different river today but it’s about 10-14 days behind based on extended low water and temps still below 60 in a lot of areas…."
"Had the biggest trip of 2026 today……I felt good taking off but my jaw dropped once it started…102 total fish by myself….this is crazy early"
