I was wondering if you caught those on Trout Magnets. I didn't think gills that size could be caught on TM's because of their small mouths. I was into some gills that size once, and they wouldn't touch the TMs except for a few small nibbles. I was using 4# mono and a float. I did manage to catch some on other lures.
Also, did you use 2# mono with a 2# fluoro leader? Or do you reserve the fluoro till the trout are around?

Dennis I always use 2# test with the Trout Magnets...nothing else. I use a fluorocarbon leader also....even though I am not fishing for trout IMHO it makes a difference. Many will say it does not but I have been doing it for so long too late to change now. I would try using 2# test and see if you have better success. Many articles I have read recently speak of bluegill being line shy....this summer is the first I have ever read about that and I know many will chime in saying it is not so...and they may be right.....but it is something I am going to delve further into. Right now I am not sure if they are line shy or not. I didn't take my kayak yesterday as it was too windy for me. It is some nice looking water and I am sure there are fish there. But it can be tricky crawling around those rocks and bluffs.
