Well in my neck of the woods, here in N.W., IA, the bullgills and small bass have been hitting pretty good. The last few days the fishing has been very good, especially in the late afternoon, early evening hours. They've been hitting surface flies like crazy, mainly hoppers.

Just got back today from a local pond and caught about 20 gills in about 2hrs. A few of them where hitting the fly just a second or two after the fly hit the water ... and hit'em hard! I like to use my 3wt for these guys, alot more fun using a light rod

We had some really cold nights lately, but in the high 50's low 60's during the day with S.SE winds around 10-20mph. Not sure how long this will keep up, but hoping to get a few more weeks in before the cold really starts setting in.
