Fished again with Andrew aka Fitz. We fished Lake Dunlap from 9:30am till 1:30pm and managed to catch some nice fish. A Crappie,and a nice batch of fat Bluegill. The fish of the day was Andrews record Bluegill that he caught on the fly. The fish was 8.75" in length with a girth of 8". The official weight was .54 Lbs which was good enough for the Lake Dunlap Bluegill Flyrod record.The fly used was a Bead Head Nymph. This was Andrews second flyrod record and both were off of Dunlap. Great times fishing two days with a great angler. It just don't get any better!

Great stuff, you're hooked now Andrew. Chuck put me on my first fly rod record too. I went fishing with him and got the fly rod record for a redbreast on the Comal. I also caught a trophy Rio that day. He was more excited about my record and the Rio than I was. It's great fun fishing with him in some really unique places. I'm glad you got that experience. Fishing with the legend, don't get any better than that

Congrats again

Thanks Jamie! I just love fishing and just being in the outdoors. Meeting some super anglers such as yourself and Andrew make it even better! This is going to be a very good year. Fish are getting more and more active!

Like the saying goes. "It just don't get any better"! Great post and congratulations to Fitz on his record Bluegill! Always love reading his post.



Side Note: I guess the Crappie Spawn is in full gear and is on it's down side. When will the Bluegill/Sunfish start spawning?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. Yes Sir the Crappie Spawn is on the down side. The Bluegill should start spawning by mid April. Already seeing signs.



Side Note: It was a true pleasure to finally meet Andrew and to share the bank with him. He is one heck of an ANGLER who truly loves being in the Great Outdoors! I also met his future fishing buddy! She is something special.

Congrats on the record.

Fantastic catch banker

Thanks Robert,etexbasser,and Goodtimes79 for the replies. The bite is picking up!

It was a pleasure sharing the bank! Thanks for everything Chuck and Mike! You guys have some great spots

Any time you are in our neck of the woods give us a shout! Looking forward to fishing with you again.


Side Note: Love meeting TFF'ers and putting names to faces! It just don't get any better.

Fritz: How deep were you fishing?

I do not know how deep Fitz was letting his fly go down but I do know the water depth was about 10 feet.

Gritter Done- my fly was 8-10ft down

Bluegill,Crappie, and fishing with friends. What can be better! Oh yea a flyrod Record Bluegill.





Congratulations Fitz on your record fish on the fly!
