Yup, I noticed that before: bluegill I catch locally are pretty pale like a tanish white color and ones I catch in Erie are almost black! Going out again today so hopefully I get something to post about :)

Location: local creek
Date: 3/11/14

fishing style: fly fishing with many different flies I tied myself.
fish caught:


1) rainbow trout, 13 inches, 1 pound, caught on San Juan worm fly, nice fight.

First trip this season the lakes here in south jersey were still mostly frozen so I went to the delaware river for stripers got a 18" cat a 15" striper and a 12" white perch that I didn't photograph. More snow tonight so who knows when the next outing will be. Winter won't go away this year!ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1395019295.678288.jpgImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1395019305.071130.jpg

i have questions, is braided line better than mono for top water fishing?
and is braided better for distance casting? (i heard the smaller the line diameter, the longer the cast and braided line has more strength per diameter than mono)
some correct me

I wouldnt think it matters much. I use monofilament for everything but that's just me. Add some split shots or sinkers and you will cast farther.
