Did a bit of fishing after the garage sale this evening. My cousin and I hit a place my neighbor who manages the parks for a municipality (in the tri county area thats as specific as I am getting cuz the place is public)
He said it was a bluegill pond. We were figuring maybe a pond full of smaller fish. Boy were we surprised! Heres the big one of the day. Ty caught it (using a rod borrowed from me, on a fly I tied and gave him - gotta share some of that glory!) - at first we thought it was a carp because it ran and bulldogged. Then he got it close and we both about pooped when we saw it was a gill.
The other fish we got were all respectable in their own right - hand sized fish were the average only a few dinks caught. We were fishing streamer flies mostly - 1.5 or 2 inch long minnow or leech imitations.
This was one of my larger fish of the day
A good eater size if we were keeping fish.
