Looking for others who fish gills with a fly rod. I can’t imagine that pound for pound that there is any better fighting fish out there to take on a fly rod and I would like to know if there’s any others who share the same passion and ideas.

Gills with a fly rod

Cant say there is anything else more fun, started fishing gills with the flyrod with my dad when I was 6 or 7 years old, Im 53 now and I still enjoy it more than anything.. the occasional crappie also makes it fun. My favorites are the yellow or orange gill getter and of course a good ol' popper, black or red and white size 14. Ive also started fishing a fiberglass 4 wt rod which makes it even more of a fight!
Really enjoy using small poppers whenever I can, love watching the different ways gills hit. Sometimes hard and aggressive and other times just that slow “suck it in”
Small nymphs copper John or a pheasant tail using a slow nymph type retrieve. No matter what it takes it just can’t be beat
