Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Would you guys (considering we're all just a bunch of rednecks who like to catch bluegills) use the term 'Tied' or 'Dressed' as relates to your fly tying ? Is someone considered elitist by using the term 'Dressed" ???
This morning's exercise... Been a few years since I tied so for now I'm tying fishing flies. NOT dressing display flies. Would that make a difference in the verb used ? (Oh, and learning to take photos of them with my phone. This is a phone photo)

I've said it before... any color works for bluegills as long as it's YELLOW. Thanks for the kind words David. 

I have a long way to go to get back to 'presentation quality' flies... But !!! Really enjoying getting back into this. And guaranteed these flies will catch some bluegills !!!

 And guaranteed these flies will catch some bluegills !!!  Man o man, I hope those catch some bluegills.  If those ties don't catch em you may as well go somewhere else cause there's none here.

Ture dat Steve.
