Folks: Do you have the same experience with bluegills as I do?? I just cannot
get them to bite very good in the crystal clear water cause we haven't had any
rain to stir up the water.. I think it's cause the fish can see me as good as
I can see them, even though I'm casting out from 50-60ft in the boat TRYING to
hide from the fish.. But I think they can still see my fly line and it scares
them.. I try to land the fly/line/leader as gently as possible, but it just
seems that in slightly murky water I havemuch better luck. Anybody else
experience this??? a lot of ppl think that "ANYBODY can catch a bluegill", but
the fact is they check out every bite they put in their mouths before biting
it, unlike, say, a bass and shell crackers (red eared sunfish) that is sooo
veracious, they seem to bite/eat, and ask questions later.. Or, is it just that
I am a sorry excuse for a fisherman??? Wait, don't answer that one...Chuck
