I wanted to do more underwater footage for this with different baits and lures, but an algae bloom made it pretty much impossible to film! You can see it starting in some of the footage here. But rest assured, I will definitely be doing more of these bluegill vids once the water is clear in the fall and winter! They are really fun to catch and observe, and make for easy fishing compared to many other species.
Tight lines everyone!!

Nice! Gillies have small mouths, so I've found that using a fly/hook that's bigger than the mouths of the dinks limits hookups to larger fish. Also, they love to nibble/taste the tails rather than bite, so tailless wet flies tend to produce more hookups. Finally, I've talked with many fisher folk who haven't a clue that gillies are even edible, let alone delicious, which they certainly are.

I fry the tail and eat it like a potato chip. Try it once. You'll be "hooked" 😎

@joefernandezhorsemanship9829 Год назад

Another great video!

@mikesueirro4968 Год назад

Well done, but the biggest thing I took away from the video is that we fishermen try to impart far too much action to the fly. Worms and bugs just don't move like this. Even the fish look confused, and half the time when they tried to take the fly, your action pulled it away from them.

@EParkFishing Год назад

This may be true, but in this case the Bluegill were so busy bedding and spawning this was the only way to get them to bite. Also Bluegill in general respond much better to action, and are a lot more forgiving in presentation than trout. Thanks for watching!

@bigplanet7818 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing..too harsh of action to the jig. More subtle action will produce more fish because it is more natural. That's why these bream seem to be cautious/reserved about grabbing the baits. Been fishing for over 48 years and have been taught a lot by the fish and older more experienced fishermen as well. Slow it down and even some days they want no action at all..just let it down in the water and hold it still. Fish are quite "moody" creatures. Happy fishing!!

@davidbrattain1446 Год назад

Bluegill. The blue collar street fighters of the piscatorial world. They will hit anything that moves and eat any bug, minnow or other food form with little to no tempting. I have caught hundreds of these little (and not so little) scoundrels when I travel to the in-laws in Indiana. I always take the flyrod and can spend hours catching them on the surface with Elk Hair Caddis in sizes 10,12 and 14 (if they get fussy). It is great fun to see those fish (often 1 to 1.5 lbs) slam a dry and the fight is pound for pound, one of the best.

@truethought2581 2 месяца назад

I absolutely agree. Fun all day.

@majhlinodi 2 года назад

@ehomhomler3182 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your videos. One thing about gills that size, they are pretty easy to get. The big gills are very wary prey.

@NorthForkFisherman Год назад

I'd also recommend a Bully Spider in white or chartreuse for fishing stained waters. It's even effective for bass and can be fished on ultralight gear.

I love the vid I just caught a 1 pound bluegill on a fly

@k9er233 4 месяца назад

Instead of a bare weight, I tie on a plain jig as a weight. The weight (with a hook in it) gets at least as many fish as the fly or dressed jig does.

I would look for a prespooled rod/ reel if you're still setting up or fly line on sale at Sportsmans warehouse. Fly shops will be pricey. Hope that helps!

In the description, you write "...Huusk is running a 50% discount on their authentic Japanese Knives!" Huusk's Japan knife is NOT Japanese-it's just named "Huusk Japan."

@EParkFishing 2 года назад

Thank you for pointing that out. I took care in the video to say "Japanese Inspired" and not "Japanese". These knives are not made in Japan. I don't remember where they're made but for the price it's a decent knife. I will edit the description.

Fishing during spawn should be illegal and off limits

@F-15plen 15 дней назад

why? "Oh because they could die and not guard the babies" THATS LIFE and anyway. Catch and release is a very popular fishing type, and not many places allow you to keep every single fish
