I myself am away on a fishing trip, but the weather since I arrived has been very wet and unseasonally cool but after spending all day Saturday in my little trailer the weather improved and although still somewhat damp (drizzle) I did manage to get out this morning (Sun) and mmanaged to catch 9 rainbows. As luck would have it the biggest was somewhere between 21/2 to 3 pounds but was dark (Spawner). The rest were smaller but still a good 18 - 19 inches and silver bright. All were taken on a grey bodied chironomid with black wire ribbing size 12 & 14. I have just finished a belated lunch and plan to go out again . The weather is improving with a weak sunny spells.

Took an Arborist friend from Indpls down to the southern part of the county to an orchard he'd never heard of which is owned by a friend who used to work with me. He was VERY impressed. She has over 7,000 apple trees, plus peaches, strawberries, raspberries, etc. We found her in the greenhouse and ended up buying some plants. I mentioned we were going over to a DNR site to try to tease a fish or two. She said, "These two ponds over there (pointing) have a ton of fish if you'd like to fish here. But....." I spoke up and said, "We're strictly catch and release." She said good. We caught a ton of fish. The ONLY fly that worked well I'll have to call the Ziegerbug. It's a bug that Rick Zieger sent me. Rick's bug has speckled rubber legs. I didn't have any, so I tied some of them with solid rubber that I had marked with a Sharpie. It looks like most of the Sharpie wore off after catching so many bluegills. (1st attachment) I don't know what Rick tied the body with, but I used black ice dub body with mallard feather tail and a duck-quill wing case. Weight was 1/8" brass bead on a size 10 94840 hook. I out-fished my buddy, but he took the cake with a 11+ inch bluegill. Gorgeous fish. (2nd attachment). It looks kinda small in his hands, but he is 6-10" tall and the rest of his body is proportional. His hands are huge. It was good to actually feel the tug of a different fish on the OTHER end of the rod again. af -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
