i love when the gills go on bed. If you are using a float and you throw out, your hook hits the water before the float and the gills react so quick that many times your floater never comes back up. They are on before your floater hits the water, i mean a split second thats how fast. It is so much fun. We use to wade very very slowly in an area when I was a kid and as long as you moved extremely slow, you could just about straddle a gill bed and fish right down between your legs and catch them. It aint that easy anymore, but I sure miss those days. Those gills will gaurd a bed pretty tight. So sometimes you can get right on them before they will leave the bed.
