hey folks - I'm in a bit of a quandary. The only time I can really get away and fish is over my lunch hour and I'm fly fishing from shore and have to cast out 10-15 ft past the vegetation to hit open water.

As you can imagine this presents it's own set of challenges. I'm thinking about tying a rope onto a garden rake tossing it out there and dragging it back to "rake" out a couple of clearings. But that's another posting.

Back to fishing. Since the sun is high, I know that the fish are not hitting anything on the surface but are holding and eating further down in the water column.

Just curious...
1 - How deep do you fish for Bluegill when they are not feeding at the surface?
2 - What methods are you using to get your flies down to them? Split shot? Weighted flies?
3 - What are you using for a strike indicator?

Thanks for all your help - still trying to figure out this warm water thing!
