All the bluegills in my area seem to have disapeared. I've only caught five this spring and summer altogether. I've even used a fish finder in places that used to be good fishing holes, and there just aren't any there.

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
