Graham, Great haul!! What are the 2 yellow trout? I've seen browns, rainbows, etc. Living here in the South, I don't have the opportunity to trout fish. Nick.

Magnolia Rick commented on Magnolia Rick's photo '017'

I thought I read that the gills will spawn when they get about 6" every full moon when water temp gets above 65 degrees. Is this right?

Walt Foreman commented on Magnolia Rick's photo '017'

I can usually tell a male from a female in pure-strain bluegill, but I'm not as confident in judging hybrids; the majority of them are normally male. The yellow on the fins gives away that it's a hybrid, along with the blue on the body.

Steve, When it is a good popper , it deserves 2 postings. If you use the smaller foam and do it in black, when the dragon flies are buzzing the water it is a great go to fly!!
