Had a chance to fish with Steve who I met several years ago while fishing for Rainbow Trout. I was able to get him on some pretty good Bluegill fishing at one of my spots. We started out at the Blanco State Park where we banged out a double limit of Rainbow Trout. We caught a bunch and kept 10 for the frying pan. We then took a lunch break and then stopped at a Bluegill pond on the way home. We caught a nice bunch of Coppernose Bluegill along with several bass. Kept a bass and several Bluegill for the frying pan to go with the Rainbow Trout. The Trout were caught on a Gold Super Duper lure and Berkley Trout Bait-cheese colored. The Bluegill were all caught on worms with a float technique. The Bluegill were active during this latest warm spell. Steve had some fish cleaning to do. Fishing with a friend and getting a bucket of trout,gills,and bass! It just don't get any better.

Nice

Great Pics!

Great catch Chuck Any green sunfish?

I woke up this morning and went outside; I couldn't believe how warm it was. Today should be a great day to fish. I was out at the golf course last night and the little bass kept attacking my fly line. So I put on a little popper and caught about 30 of those little 8 inch bass, LOL. That's the first good top water bite of the year for bass. The sunfish still aren't active on top water yet though. I saw a few bass beds in one of the ponds I fish as well. Spring is getting close my friend.

Nice great haul

GOOD JOB! You Gotta love those big Coppernose Gills

Thanks PaPa@Fork,Allan,Jamie,Clayton,and Fishbonz for the replies. Sunfish are getting very active. Should be a GREAT year.

Nice variety of fish. Looks like we are back in the patterns of one front after another. Will this effect the fishing.



Side Note: Got about one and a half inches of rain this last system.

Woo Wee...I cant wait until it warms a bit and those bully's start to bed up! It'll be on and poppin

Thanks Gitter and AJ for the replies. Gitter: I have been trying to locate fish all winter long. Places where I ususally catch fish during the winter I can not buy a bite. Other places where there are no fish this time of year I am catching a bunch. Go figure! Love looking for em. AJ: It's going to be a GREAT spring,summer,and fall!

Yes sir know what you are saying. This weather has made it where you really have to look for em.



Side Note: Got another inch of rain this last go around. Also heard that the Corp of Engineers is letting a lot of water out of Canyon.

1.5" here. I heard the same about the water being let out of Canyon. Looks like some pretty good weather ahead the next few days. Gonna be out there looking for em.

Nice fish Guys.




Side Note: What is your take on the pond bite for this year? Hope do more pond fishing this year.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. Ponds are in great shape and you should do pretty well on catching fish. I managed to catch some nice Bluegill off of several ponds this last winter.

Thanks Chuck. I will have accesses to a couple of ponds in the Pipe Creek area and plan on really giving the flyrod a work out!
