{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Martin luther king recreational lake (first fish on the gurgler)

Nice man!  I've yet to land a fish on a gurgler (just tied some up a few weeks back), but love catching fish on poppers.  There's really nothing like a bass crushing a topwater fly.

Tied up some chartreusse gurglers last night and decided to test them out today.  I took a trip to Martin luther king recreational park and fished the lake.  Lots of grass and weed would've been a nightmare for anyone with sinking line or subsurface streamers.  

I was armed with gurglers and on a mission to catch my first fish on a top water fly.  I paid attention to the Lilly pads and was able to successfully land casts between them or right before them.  It took some time understanding how to work the fly.  

After a few blip blip burrrps I was hooked up with a bass who burst out and took my fly.  I set the hook, however he thrashed and out came the gurgler.

I kept at it and eventually landed this smaller largemouth.
