Thought I'd get out for some more bluegill. Fished from 830-1100. Couldn't believe it was even better than Tuesday's outing. Just about a fish on every cast. Didn't even know how many fish I'd caught till I emptied my creel into an empty cooler for cleaning. Same beat-up $.25 discount Cabela's size 18 parachute adams-like fly did the job. Tons of fish left when I decided to call it quits - my arm actually got tired from casting.

All the fish caught today were males. The males who were sitting/guarding nests weren't interested in biting; Just the unlucky saps who were wandering around and hadn't found an interested female. Cleaning and filleting 'em this evening was a chore and might just turn me into a catch & release guy. Fried some of 'em up (from Tueday's catch) and tried bluegill for the first time - they ARE tasty. Bang for the buck they seem to have much more meat than the perch I was catching this past winter out of Silver.
