Title says it all.. I went up with Deva who is now getting pretty addicted to flyfishing for bluegill at the pond. We caught a bunch of them. Some are really beautiful. All took the surface poppers I tied up a couple of nights ago. I tried the San Juan worm flies I tied too, and they sure go for those too, but the hooks were too big for the bluegill (I had the bass in mind really, but they weren't biting on anything at that point).

Thursday morning I went up again to do some casting practice.. trying to figure out which rod to bring back east in July. Right now I'm leaning toward the sage xp 10' #9. Interestingly it is a lot less work to cast the #8 clouser line with the 10' sage than the 9' winston XTR. I think I need a #9 line for the winston, (maybe even a #10) for it to load properly.
