They truly are some of the most beautiful fish swimming in our streams, lakes and rivers . There's a river I fish occasionally about an hour and a half south of me called the Ocmulgee river . There's a variety of sunfish I catch down there that will rival any salt water fish . They are primarily yellow with teal specks . I was just talking with one of my fishing buddies about making a trip down there . The fish are small , with a big one being maybe five inches long , but they are absolutely the prettiest freshwater fish I've ever caught including the redbreast . If and when I get down there I'll tke some pics and post them . gillchaser

Unsociable, you best not let them know you have a weapon, as you may well know that they will kill you to get it!!!
That is a big problem in South Africa, finding safe places to fish.

Gillchaser ... I've got a spot like that in Oregon .. A series of 3 ponds behind the library in town,...the land was once owned by a company that was going to build
An industrial plaza, they posted it ....and went bankrupt, posted signs still up, the town owns the land, I called and they said, your a taxpayer, you own it, have fun fishing ...never see anyone fishing ... They all obey the posted signs ...loaded with small LM bass and nice size bluegills ... I C&R em also ....

For me it's for sure trout/char. But it's hard not to love the fight of a 'Gill ! If Bluegill got to 5lbs I don't think we would ever land them on Ultralight tackle!

I would have to say Cutthroat trout They very so much in color from river to river and are almost always willing to take a dry, my personal favorite cutthroat is the greenback cutthroat.

Smallies,
As much as I love wading for trout in the rivers and streams, nothing brings me closer to the edge than seeing a big smallie, jump....again ....and again... and again.
Then just when you think they are done......they run and jump some more

Wow, great thread, interesting at all the fans of the humble blue gill, the most wonderful little fish on teh planet, so abundant and so fun, they never let us down, I am a big fan.

I reposted my gill photo in my previous post . And here’s a more recent picture of a nice gill I caught two days ago at the Town pond on my new 6’6” 3wt fiberglass rod . They’re still a few left in there . :) Gillchaser
