Hello all and to whom it may concern, this is my new blog and I'm excited to have finally decided to make one.
I'm a high school student who really enjoys fly fishing.
I went out yesterday, Sunday to have some fun with the bluegills at the local lake. Have fun I did,,,I took my three weight with me as the wind was not blowing much and bluegill are so much funner when they are on the three weight. Anyways I arrived at the lake to find no wind and some bluegill surfacing. I immediately unstrung my 3weight which was already adorned with a GHRE.
I stripped off about 20' of line and started to haul for my first cast of the day. The cast settled out perfectly and as my GRHE was happily sinking,,,TWITCH went the line and I had a gill on. A nice gill at that! At around 7-8 inches.
This kept on for a good while and I ended up catching around 18 'gills from this same spot. I also caught some dink bass of around 4-5 inches. They still put a bend in the three weight and were fun to catch.
Then I had a larger tug that started pulling the line before I realized what was happening...I set the hook and I could tell by the way the fish was fighting that it was a nice bass. It gave me a good fight and I got a glimpse of him/her once before the bass went near a brush pile and threw my size 12 GRHE. Darn!
On a side note: I was given some furled leaders the other week and have been trying them out at my local lake when I go. I used them yesterday and they really are fantastic. They turn over very nicely and can even turn over 4' of tippet. I'm very impressed with them. And with yesterdays conditions, Where the fish wanted it on the drop,,,A furled leader not coated with floatant so it will sink Worked perfectly!
Meanwhile mom caught 2 bass on the spin rod and had fun herself.
Then The action slowed and we decided to call it a day.
Anyways it was a good day and I was happy to get out.
Sorry, No pictures this time.
Gotta do some homework...
Tight lines.
