A white popper was the fly of the day.

The bluegill are pounding the topwater right now! A white popper was the fly of the day. It's amazing to watch big 'gills fight over it!!

After a very scientific, clinical survey...

After a very scientific, clinical survey of substantial sample size of the best fly fishers on Instagram, it has been determined that the humble Bluegill is the most underrated fish species caught on a flyrod. Funny, if you think about it, the results of said survey completely negate themselves. Bluegill are our absolute favorite (in case you haven't noticed) and their accessibility to just about any angler in North America is why we chose to use their profile for The Suburban Angler logo!!

The One Pound Range!

Managed another largemouth on a popper today! According to the Release Ruler he was about 12 1/2" long, which clearly put him into the 1 pound range! I've never been one to carry a scale while fishing, so it's nice to have an easy to carry ruler that gives approximate weights!

Poppers on the Office Pond

It was warm and sunny today so I thought I'd give poppers a try on the office pond. I figured I'd be catching bluegill, so it was a pleasant surprise when this gorgeous largemouth slammed the topwater!! Beautiful markings and a solid 11" on the Release Ruler!!

The Wind was Pretty Strong Today...

Here's the rest of that crappie from the eye shot. Crappie eyes remind me of a cat's eyes when the pupils are dilated. The wind has been pretty strong again today, so casting the 2 weight TFO Finesse was a bit tough, but it got the job done!

Fish Are Staying Fairly Deep

Another successful lunch break on the office pond today. Really had to give the flies time to sink, with these temperature fluctuations the fish are staying fairly deep.

An Incredible Day...

I got to spend an incredible day helping Steve Hudson introduce fly fishing to Georgia State University's Touch the Earth group. The day started with fly tying and casting instruction, then to a small bluegill stream to practice their new skills, then on to bigger water chasing white bass. Everyone in the group landed a fish on a fly they tied themselves!! Including this white bass caught by Michelle!! An awesome group of folks, I really hope fly fishing becomes as much a passion for them as it has for me these past few years. And, I hope I get to help Steve again with another enthusiastic group!

Crappie on the Two Weight!

I don't catch enough crappie to know if this one is considered big or not, but he's a lot bigger than the 'gills I was catching tonight and he put a serious bend in my 2 weight!!
