Headed out yesterday to Crystal springs and Mctuckers ponds. I left the fly rod home. I decided to just sit back and watch the water while fishing with worms. This is almost a sacred religious for me to do. Actually this was the first time in well over 7 years I left the fly rod home. To put it simple I missed my fly rod that day. Crystal springs is small but is a beautiful place with yellow cannarys flying around and the 6 inch trout jumping out of the water for the mayfly. With nothing but a can of worms and one lure(a mepps)I set out to fish. I had 2 bites and this was around 5 in the afternoon. The worms and the mepps both failed me. I tried long casts, I tried short casts, I tried around the bank, i got skunked. So off to old reliable Mctuckers. I arrived around 6 tossed out the worm and had a bite instantly. I jumped on the pole gave a yank and reeled a 3 inch bullhead catty. I continued to catch these little buggers for awhile until I switched ponds. Bluegill can be fun when fishing with a flyrod and a dry fly but, i didn't have the extension of my right arm with me. I caught a few of these bluegills with the mepps that looked or was designed to look like a trout, well it worked. About 8:30, half hour before having to leave because of the boss at home(this is the kindest word i can find) i got into a 6 inch trout, not much of a fight but, made me happy it was a good ending to a mediocre day. steve
