2 Bass and 2 Bluegill

Back to Bethany again.  Two Bass and two Bluegill with others observed catching Bass as well.  No Bruisers today but still too nice a day to pass up a chance to wet a line.

2 Sunfish and then a Bethany Lakes Bruiser Bluegill!

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning. Front has things colder and wetter with a slight slowdown in the action. Was able to catch two Sunfish on a Prince Nymph fishing fly, and then landed a Bruiser Bluegill on a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger. Measured 10.25" in size. Picture below was taken at a slight angle but close inspection confirmed the length. Personal best Bluegill; going to submit to the COAF Leader Board!
