Lake Nights and Bluegill

I’m currently in Wisconsin, and fully enjoying lake nights and bluegill fishing from the pier. New to me this year is a 1 weight Redington Butterstick. I’ve been in love with this rod ever since I learned about it from my friend Robert Hawkins aka Bobby Nachos of Bob Mitchell’s Fly Shop.

My Cousin Giacomo

Thankfully, the weather was more than pleasant the day that we did get out to explore the trout streams.
