Since we are having a substantial drought, haven't felt like harassing the local trout and instead spend my available time educating pan fish (and occasional bass) in our local lakes. Went out this morning fairly early and there were already several boats out and a few guys shore fishing. My favorite spot was unoccupied and I proceeded to hook a bunch of gills of all sizes. Nice easy trip close to home and was back before 9 to serve my wife her coffee. A Bully Blue gill spider fished as a dropper was working well as well as a sinking ant behind a popper. That fly was destroyed and the hook needs repurposed. Be careful if you are wading not to walk through their beds.
