Targeting Green Sunfish

[gillchaser999]

My fishing buddy and I have found a new (to us) sport .
Targeting Green Sunfish .
One man’s pest fish is another man’s enjoyment.
We use super ultralight Flyfishing gear and flies to catch them .
Today we were at Lake West Point here in Georgia, a Corp of Engineer reservoir.
Our target area is the riprap near the numerous boat ramps .
Even a four incher puts up a good fight on an ultralight flyrod .
Today I used my 6’ 2wt Butterstick and my buddy used a 5’9” CGR . Both ultralight fiberglass rods . I caught 44 total including a few small bluegills. My buddy caught 27 .
A fun four hours .
He caught the biggest of the day and actually was the biggest we’ve caught so far .
These are the two biggest today, and the smallest . Mine looks like it may be a hybrid because it has more of a bluegill shape .
IMO , these are some of the most beautiful freshwater fish .
