Bluegill gold mine

[SullyTM]

Hey Adam...Care to post a few pictures of the flies you are using? A picture is worth a thousand words! My local neighborhood pond is warming up and I've tied a few bass bugs but would enjoy seeing what you are using in Chicoland. Thanks. Thom

Here you go Thom





These popper are tied up by Umpqua, Bill Kiene sells these poppers at $1.25 (normally $2.25) or around that price on sale because he has an overstock.

I like the size #10 but #12 is ok too.

I likt to trim the legs down a little bit to reduce fowling.

Good Luck!

Adam...Those will work. I'll flip a couple on my old 4 wt rod that bends like a wet noodle. Thanks.

Here are some of the bluegill from my epic huge bluegill day











Every fish but one was caught on a medium sized #8 bass popper. These chunky "gills" were hungry and full of fight.

From the bottom of the real seat to the top of the grip is 10" long. Most of these fish were at least 10" in length. 10" of pure gold!

I like Gooooold
