Guest Report post Posted November 25, 2020 Couple summers ago I hammered local state lake bream beads. (Put and take fishery). Put few coolers of the “coppernosed” in son-in-law’s lil pond. The girls have been having a time catching them ever since. I dumped out water then took pic. Undersized went in too... lil popper with chironomid underneath did the trick.

Guest Report post Posted November 25, 2020 Got the idea from another forum. If a problem delete, move whatever; you da Ramrod... Not much traffic in cold, warm water anyway...Unless somebody comes sluming.😏 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2020 Naw, you're okay. I'm just not posting my pictures in two separate places. Everybody has there own ideas on threads. Some start a new thread every time they tie a fly, instead of just posting them in the monthly "... from the bench" thread. Just clutters up the place, if you get my gist. Please don't take my opinions as a rebuke ... it's just an opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 This is my best 'gill of the year. Was caught on a hare's ear while tight line nymphing around some road side cypress knees one afternoon. Came in at about 9". Not a world beater, but fun on the 3 wt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skeet3t 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 Chris, used to live in Shreveport. Saw some huge bluegill come out of Caddo Lake. We used to fish Cross Lake north of S'port. Found a honey hole at Squirrel Point on the north side of the lake. Water was 3-4 feet deep and the 'gills would be around the cypress knees. Ate a lot of fresh fish for 5 years. Bonus at Cross Lake was the bald eagles and the huge nests on the north side. BTW, haven't been to a crawfish boil since 1988! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 Awesome photos, guys. I'm surprised at how dark some of those guys get down there, as opposed to the ones i catch here in New England. Ours don't get that big either, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philly 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 I think coloring depends on the clarity and type of water. Here's one that came out of a lake in NE PA which is slightly tannic and weedy This one came out of a clear rocky lake in Central Vermont, but it's a Pumpkinseed This is a Pumpkinseed that came out of the same lake as the bluegill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
