Hersh, fly rod bobber fishing isn’t for everyone. I have several friends that only fish dries with bamboo rods. When they see an angler bobber fishing it drives them nuts. They call them fly fishing robots all staring at a little indicator. Myself I really enjoy watching that little piece of plastic get pulled under. The bluegill pic and the others bluegill pics I have posted are from Lake Perris here in Ca. in Riverside county. It’s known for its monster bluegills. My uncle lives in Parker, Az. which is about a half hour from Lake Havasu I have fished with it with him multiple times and my personal best red ears are 1.5 to 2 lbs. I believe these fish fight better than trophy bluegills and give a 5 wt. all it can handle. Big red ears are also great eating. He sent a pic and the article several weeks ago regarding someone whom caught a red ear that weighed 6.30 lbs. was 17” long and had a girth of 20” it’s a pending world record.
Sorry didn't mean it that way,i meant my skills and lack of patience to learn Prevents me from using an indicator with much success.I do fish some waters that are deep and clear.There has to be large sunfish present because there are large predators,I have caught a couple green sunfish in the 12" range but not the bluegills,Limited shore access is all there is in these old quarries,
