Watch out!  The one thing I have learned in all my years attempting to catch the fishes...is that U am REALLY good at catching small fish.

The 2nd Annual Bluegill Tournament is coming up this Friday and Saturday. The weather is shaping up to be gorgeous, with highs in the low 70s and sunshine, which is quite an upgrade from the 100+ degrees we faced last year.

The weigh-in will be held at Tyson's Biergarten on Saturday, starting at 5PM. The Biergarten is directly across the street from Greensboro Metro Station and there is parking onsite. TPFR will be picking up the tab for some sliders and fries for our participants. For our football fans, they normally put up a big screen outside for the biggest games. As long as you e-mail in your pictures, the weigh-in is optional, but should be a blast.

Go here to register today for only $10: https://squareup.com/store/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/item/bluegill-tournament-entry

We'll be e-mailing out the official rulers soon. E-mail all pictures of fish to blue...@tpfr.org before 5PM Saturday.

After last year I convinced my office to get a laminator for unnamed important reasons...I just took it out of the box and used it for the first time. Looking forward!

We use waterproof paper to print fishing licenses. Google "waterproof paper" to find the very helpful supplier.

Of course, a little late for this year...

I put my waterproof ruler in the bottom of a dishpan so the fish won't get away while being photographed on the ruler.

Loving the weather compared to last year! No one can use the heat fatigue excuse for falling short of 100 fish :-P  
(okay, 100 degrees last year was a very legitimate reason...)

Can't wait to see the smallest fish contest heat up now that a sweet rod and reel combo is at stake!

Well I wasn't sure whether I was gonna have the opportunity to compete this year, but I managed to sneak away from doing house chores for a couple hours and got out on a Potomac trib near me for some sunny action. My best was about 4" and my biggest was about 7.5". Yep that's right the smaller fish is the harder challenge so the best I was able to do was 4", which I'm sure will get crushed by someone using a s18 soft hackle. Next year that's my strategy. This year I used a white popper and a damsel underneath at times. I got a bonus LMB at the very beginning of the session too! That's my best largemouth on the Potomac in quite some time (somewhat embarrassing eh?). Anyways, fun day, wish I were going to the weigh in but I am  indisposed. See you guys Monday! Pictures of my smallest and my prettiest and my second prettiest fish attached, and the bonus LMB.
