Fly rod fishing 2nd week Nov 09
Fishing with the fly rod week 2 Nov 09 was almost a repeat of week one. I managed to get to fish three days for 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours in the late afternoon. The fishing was really good on all three days with the best day being Saturday. Using the white wooley bugger was effective on Wednesday, the olive wooley bugger was best on Friday and Saturday. The rainbow trout fly (From Discount Flies.com) that caught most of my fish one day the week before didn’t get much attention at all. Well , that just shows that fish have their preference from one day to the next. To back that up, why is it that one day the fish like the white wooley bugger one day and the next day I have to change to an olive color. Last week the white one caught nearly 50 fish where the olive was best on Saturday with 42 fish including bass, bluegill and crappie.
So far this week it’s been cold and raining, no fishing.
For you fishing readers, if you would like to share some of your fishing experiences, I’d like to hear from you. Especially Illinois fishing since that’s where I live. Just make comments and add your own experiences with Bass, Crappie, Bluegill, Pike, Walleye or whatever fish you pursue. I really like to fly fish for big bluegill and bass. Do you have any suggestions? As you can see in my web site I have featured some nice 9 or 10 inch bluegill but I sure would like to find some bigger ones. The largest one that I ever caught was on a fly the day before I entered the Air Force; it was 13 1/2 inches long on Onota Lake in PIttsfield Mass.
