Took a co-worker (not very experienced at fishing) out on Roses lake to catch some bluegill (his family wanted to have a fish fry) And had a successful day on the water. I used Fly rod with floating poppers (small) and rubber leg, dubbed wet flies (size 6). Color didn't seem important with the poppers, but the best wets for me today were Olive dubbing, red cheneile butt, with white legs.Sizes ran up to 8 inches with smaller ones mixed in. Also A few small perch, and several LMB with the largest about 14 inches. My fishing bud used worms, jigs, and grubs with enough catching on his part to keep him excited. Water temp was running around 76 degrees, but the fish weren't really active until around 0900. Light wind with partly cloudy skies made the air temp bearable. We ended the trip with 3/4 of a gallon zip lock of boneless panfish fillets. Nice fry in the making.

When I got to the lake this AM, there was a couple from Moses lake fishing from the dock, and had caught a 17# channel cat earlier. They had been fishing for and catching bluegill when the Bad boy latched on. They were happy fishermen. I weighed the fish on my electronic scales, so the weight is pretty close.
Tight lines all, and be sure to stay hydrated out there.
