4-2-09
Ankeny Public Pond
Time: 12:15-12:50pm
Weather: Cloudy, 40 F
Wind: 10mph from NNE
Fish caught: 5 Bluegill, lost/missed one more
Lure used: “SHWAPF” fly & 5wt fly gear

I fished during lunch. It was cold out…but the fish were somewhat active, and certainly fought very well!

Nice gill FishnDave, I need to remember to
try for gill more whilst lmb fishing…I usually
need to use smaller flies and the bigger lmb
surprise me sometimes and my 5wt. gets a
good workout at times.

Cheers,

Very nice Gill!! Great way to spend a lunch hour.

Very nice Dave. Bluegills are just about my favorite fish in the whole world. I’m looking forward to some nice days.

After yesterday’s wind/snowstorm, looks like we’ll finally be getting some decent weather (50’sF) by mid-week.

Bluegills ARE a lotta fun! :smiley:
