Topwater Bluegill Fishing Advice
Posted on 3/9/15 at 10:02 pm

Want to try using topwater lures for catching bluegill/bream. I've tried a fly rod and would prefer my ultralight with some type of topwater lure. Suggestions appreciated.

Go back to the fly rod.
The small white popper has slayed thousands of bream for me.
Not exaggerating either...I have had the same Cortland Fly 5/6 wt rod since 1993 and changed the line out 5 times.....thousands of bream caught. They bend the rod.
Only about 100 largemouth bass caught, but bream or bluegill are plentiful and pleasant to catch.

Use your ultralight rigged with a small Betts Bubble with your favorite fly trailed about four feet behind. IT works.

Go back to the fly rod and use a Bream Getter... they eat that thing up...

I suggest we go fishing soon. I'm sure my little boy would love to spend time with his nanny also. So bring her too.

I use a small swivel on a popping fly with my ultralight so that the fly sinks slowly. Has worked for me since I was a kid
