Gillin' on a Sunday Afternoon

I decided to take the camera a long with me to the pond.   I forgot the tripod attachment so I had the camera laying on my back pack.  Not the greatest angle but at least it's something to watch if you can't get out and fish.

    Really enjoyed the video--those were some nice gills especially the last one you landed --what wt rod was you using and was that a popper or a nymph the fish had its mouth? Thanks for sharing

  3. Bill, that was my beloved 3wt St Croix Avid. The fly at the very end was a white size4 or 6 stealth bomber. I had caught a long and skinny bass before that fish. I really wish I got that on the video. The bass was busting shad near the bank. I threw the fly to where the wake was and in a few seconds the fish slammed the fly. Inhaled it too. Crazy thing, that gill pictured fought harder than the bass that was 3 times it's size.

  4. Thanks Howard, it is very relaxing. That was actually a slow day at the pond. It always seems when I break the video camera out the fishing suffers. Usually the action is so fast and furious I could leave the camera running and never stop it. Actually all of those fish were caught in a 20min period but it was not the usual fish ever other cast type of day. There was a storm coming in and I think the fish were waiting for the rain.
