Blue gills finally

Today I was able to finaly get out on the water. I was hosted by Jordan aka dryfly2010. It was a scorcher but once I was out on the water I was having to much fun to notice. Jordan's neighbors were kind enought to lets us fish their pond so we didn't take any out. These are a few of the fish I caught. I was dumb enough to make the mistake of not taking a picture when I had a good sized gill on. This is one of the smaller ones.

I also caught a few bass ( sorry but no monsters on the mouse fly, maybe next time.) You can tell Jordan is very honored to be holding my fish.:D

All of the fish were caught on the same fly. It withstood over twenty fish and I didn't even lose it! :) It was a variation of Al Cambell's SHWAPF. Jordan dubbed it the "sparkel SHWAPF." The one I was using was a beadless version. Next time I will try a bead head with an indicator.

This might slightly subdue my craving to fish but I will be back... Tommorow I am leaving for the beach, so it will be a while.

Any day on the water is a good day.

You both look like you were having fun. Way to go!!

Looks like lots of fun! Really like that sparkle SHWAPF too! Good idea.
