Thread: Pond Bluegill

I got a few pond bluegill last Sunday evening over at a nearby residential community fishing from the bank with the 5wt. and a floating line. Most were only average size. I was just getting ready to take a photo of the first bluegill I caught on a #8 Aberdeen yellow Nymphomie Pusher foam fly Dremel bug but the gill got off the hook before I could take the photo. I did get a photo of the last gill I caught toward dark. An average size of about 7 or 8 inches I caught on a #10 Improved Black Gnat wet fly. The little rascal took the fly deep enough I had to use the foreceps (hemostat).
