[cool][#0000ff]I love fishing for all species of sunfish. It is always fun to catch them on a flyrod and topwater, but they hit subsurface flies too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The green sunfish have a larger mouth than bluegills and seem to be a bit more aggressive most of the time. They do not form large schools, like the bluegills, but are usually more solitary and set up their little areas that they defend against intrusion...including lures. They hit hard and fight well.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]All members of the sunfish family, including largemouth bass, can develop a weedy or muddy taste as the water warms and gets weedier. If they hang out in shallow warm water, that does not get any current running through it they tend to get more of an "off" taste. They are much better during the winter or early spring.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I know a lot of guys who have caught many species of fish...some very large...who still enjoy flinging flies or poppers for sunfish. I am one of them.[/#0000ff]
