Grammy, get your popping bugs ready. Fly fishing for bass and bluegill in a pond is wonderful, one of my favorite types of fishing.
Did you know the popping bug was invented by a guy from Tennessee, H.E. Peckinpaw (sp)? He dropped a piece of cork from his coffee thermos in the water while fishing, and the trout tore it up. This was in one of the middle Tennessee streams, I think the Hiwassee.
So, he invented the popping bug.
I'm a regular historian (grin)
Grammy, we will get together this spring, hopefully things will slow down here by then.
Billhilly is afraid to fish with me, though. He is sensitive about getting skunked on the water (grin). He, like fish, fears me.
