Pumpkin spice glass beads for pumpkin spice sunfish. For some reason, I start seeing these warmouth sunfish late summer into early fall.
I caught it on a new-to-me Fenwick FF70 7' 5-6 weight fiberglass fly rod that has the date 7/7/70 written on the rod tube. The glass beads came from a bead shop in Athens Ohio. One of the feathers came from a pheasant, and the other came from my new ratty rooster skin.

At the swamp. Caught a nice pretty green sunfish. What's report indicates that we will have rain for the remainder of the week π

I had a bit of a reprieve from the usual after school activities so I snuck off for a few hours to a local park. Tried a variety of flies, but the winner continues to be a small olive gurgler. #flyfishing #flyfishingaddict #fishing #bass #sunfish #getoutside #pondtherapy

A prolific sunfish day at Stone Mountain Park. I also had two monster black crappie on the line, but they both got away from me. I will be back with heavier tackle.

Caught my first two fish of 2023 on Pine Lake. A redbreast sunfish (pictured) and a bluegill. Both took a bead-head grouse bugger. I did not see any bass activity.

Good morning fellow Mastos. It's Thursday again. Hope you have a great day. It's nearly the weekend.
I'm off to the dentist for a check up this morning. Who knows if I'll come home with the same number of teeth that I left with! π
Today's photo is a Sun Fish. Shot in California in 2019 when I was there. I like these big guys. #SunFish #MonterayBayAquarium

Temp in the low 40s and wind blowing at 15 mph+, but the bluegill were hitting dry flies tonight!

The wind is going to blow all day tomorrow, and it will be in the low 30s tomorrow morning. I'm itching to get out and catch trout this weekend, but I'm not sure of I'm going to be up for the weather.

Possibly my silliest Google search to date...or at least today: "Has anyone ever been squashed by a sunfish jumping on their boat?"
According to Wikipedia, one person has.
