9:32 am Nice bluegill on a popping fly but not what we’re after
9:49 am Another nice bluegill
10:11 am More juvenile bluegill
10:14 am Another baby bluegill on a popping fly
10:27 Made the switch to the Josh Quong approved Olive Wolly Bugger and bam! My first largemouth bass on the fly
10:33 am First bluegill on the wooly bugger
