Ya know, I have caught most of the major species of fish in Florida. Gotten the sail, tarpon, snook, dolphin, bass, pickerel, etc (but the bonefish still eludes). Yet, I have a special place in my heart for bluegill on fly rod. It is odd considering I learned how to fly fish relativity late in life. But I am hooked.
I don't know what it is. When I fish in the brine, I feel like I am preparing for battle. But when in the sweet, it is a relaxing trip. This morning was nice. I just sat back, hung my feet in the water and worked the shoreline with a popper. Some strikes were gentle, others, relatively speaking were violent, and others, the strike was non existent as the popper was just pulled under.
So, here are my pictures as fodder for ridicule. But I will have to say it was a good trip.
It was a good morning on the water.
