PTN for bluegill

[Danny Gober]

Just want to ask. What size and color PTN do you use for hard water conditions? Until this last week the water was still hard: all my fly would do was lay on the surface. Should I weight my fly with a chain saw? Just a little shell shocked, had to blow snow on Easter. Happy Easter Dan

Danny,

You could get out the pick and bust a hole the size of a dinner plate, pace off 40 feet and practice your casting. I'm bummed out as well. I was mowing the yard Friday in shorts and bare feet and today, 40 degrees colder, rain and wind. Not to mention this is the first time with 3 days in a row off work in close to a year.

I remember April 11, 1989. 10 inches of snow in S. Louis! It's not that bad yet.

Guys,

You get to pick whre you live.

In the high to mid 80s the last few days here.

Bass are active and some are post spawn now.

Topwater is on.

Bluegills are everywhere.

More of the mountain lakes are opening up every day, as are the roads, for those that prefer trout.

It's prime fishing time in the southwest.

Come on down!!!

Tie on a 16 lb bowling ball just in front of the PTN. Try for a good dead drift. As the ice floe passes your position, lift your rod straight up, point it at heaven and ask, "Have You checked the calendar lately"?


Hang in there brother it is coming. Think of all the mosquitos that just died before they got a chance to lay eggs.

How many times have I tried to explaint to yu that your hope in that situation is a sinking fly line?

Shoot last week I was out in short sleeves fishing and this past Saturday we get 4 1/2" of snow and highs in the 30's in central Texas none the less. Weird weather this year so far. At least we got rain and the drought is over and our waters are up to pool.

Not being political, this is an honest question because I really don't understand but....I thought Global Warming ment it should be warmer. Any scientific explanations?

On the tv weather his morning they said that it was colder the first week of April this year than it was the first week of January
