Today marks a very special day. It was the first day I was able to get out and wade my favorite river near the house. Usually I'm out a lot sooner than this, but family and work responsibilities have kept me at bay. Nevertheless, this morning I was given the green light to get out and so I did without delay!
Spring has sprung. Everything is green and there's a think layer of pollen wherever you look.
I started out using a small popper and caught a few, but I eventually went to my go to bream fly, the Capps Spider. I brought more hand size bluegill to hand than I could count and also got a good variety of other species. The 70p performed flawlessly and the stout color really looks fantastic in the sunshine.
Someone has been pigging out!
Insert your favorite crappie pun here.
The mighty bluegill. Cast after cast they were hammering the fly. I wasn't complaining.
This little redbreast still had on his Easter best. These guys never cease to amaze me. I'll put them up against any trout for sheer beauty.
Until next time, tight lines!!
