Went fishing yesterday with Mike Murgida, & today with old fishin' buddy Gary. Yesterday, Mike & I hit a bonanza of solid 9"+ gills. I got mostof mine on a yellow with grizzly hackle wooly worm (tied by our own Anglerdave), & young Mike snatched one of my hoppers to get most of his. I haven't hit large gills hitting like that in years. I decided to get out the 7 wt Orvis I got from Dotman & try for bass...1st cast with a white sneaky pete (tied by James Smith) was NAILED by yet another big gill. I would guess the hook size was a 4, if not larger. Once I figure out how to load pictures, I will. Today was at another pond. Only got 4 gills & a few bass, but the crappie surprised me..got 8 of 'em on the wooly worm, foam beetle, & a #8 green popper...go figure!
