"Gills On The Fly" - Basic Fly Fishing Techniques For Bluegills

Just a few basic techniques for catching those frisky little panfish in the summertime. Whether as a kid or as an adult, bluegills are always fun to catch. Their willingness to bite makes them an easy choice for some uncomplicated fly fishing as well. In this short video I cover the basic methods that I use when fishing for pond bluegills with the old fly rod.

@intenseangler ... but you won't laugh when I entangle myself in fishing line or get an involuntary piercing by a fish hook? ... because I'm kind of an "ignorantangler" ;o)

[intenseangler]
