My son and I are heading down the 8th. We will be fishing Blood River, Big Sandy area. will post something when we return the nite of the 12th.... Good or Bad....
Most of the females still have eggs, but will be heading to the shallows as soon as the water temps start increasing a few degrees.....should still be several fish still spawing when you come down.
Coming down this weekend, can anyone tell me if it would be a waist of time to bring the Fly rod for some Blue Gill?
Thanks Dennis
There are some shallow gills, but from what I saw this past weekend most were near the mouths of bays in 10' to 15' of water. I'd say it is a little early for the fly rod.Quote:

Use that flyrod with a 1/32 oz jig with a curly tail & flip it up on them chunk rock banks for crappie.
I like to use a floating line with a 4 foot 6lb fluorecardon leader.
Thanks for the info. I'll try it for the Crappie, going back in May try it on the Gills then.
