Thread: Picky 'gills

I have the same problem with large gills in the 75 acre lake that I fish. This is my first year to fly fish and have a lot to learn. Yesterday the finder showed fish at 20 feet offshore and 5/6' deep. Wife and I were fishing worms for large redear and got skunked. I enjoyed your post and will try the flyrod on them next time out. Surface temperature was 85 degrees. Ouch, hot out there. Oh yea, forgot to memtion wife fishing under cork and I was drop shotting, I really wanted her to catch a few. Robbed again!!

INGrandad. Great post!!!
This post gives me the impression that you are a fine fisherman. Changing methods to match what they want is what fishing is all about ,and not just for fly fishing.
Thanks for the enjoyable, informative read, ole giller

You're too kind, I just do what I can to control populations in the lakes. Though job, but I've dedicated myself to it. Flyroddin's my first love, and the first means by which I go lookin' for fish.
