Yup... Been 'on beds' for about three weeks now...
This year they are a bit deeper than last, but still abundant and pretty easy pickings after work most evenings.
I just walked inside from blasting about a dozen FAT bluegills on the popper and 5wt out front after a long workday. No crappie tonight, but I don't tend to hit them on the poppers as much as sinking streamers, etc.
Tiny 1/16oz curly tail jigs are still wickedly lethal on the crappie though, of course...
This year the bluegill seem enormous compared to last Spring... Not sure what's up, but there are some pretty serious bulls in there that will really give you a ride on the fly rod from the dock!
