Clear Water Bluegills

Went to a lake nearby that has crystal clear water. We found some beds and some fish cruising in 3-6' of water. Sight fished them. They were so picky in the gin clear water that the only thing they would take was a #10 fly hook, no weight, no float, 2 lb line, and a jumbo redworm. We kept 47 over 8". The picture on the board shows the average size and the pig of the day.

Nice mess of gills

Kevin,

That's a perfect example of how super thin line and a nice casting rod will catch when nothing else will!

No weight, no stinkin' floater, just a thin wire hook with a small bait!

Way to go, dude!

Thanks!

That is exactly what I try and tell people, but they refuse to listen. I guess a lot of people think bluegills are stupid fish. That might be why the other 3 people on the lake didn't catch anything.
