First catfish on fly rod, Bluegill Spawn and Bully's Bluegill Spider

The first full moon of May means that the bluegill are spawning and on the nests. I took advantage of that to get out with the fly rod and get a mess of bluegill for the freezer. Ended up getting a crappie that day and my first catfish on the fly rod. The catfish wasn't huge but at a couple pound put a nice bend in my 5 wt. My fly of choice for the day that seemed to be getting the most bites was Bully's Bluegill Spider.
