<p>Last year, I had just started fly fishing and tying flies. I had several GFA Hopper patterns that would get absolutely SLAMMED by Bluegill, Green Sunnies, and Hybrid Sunnies. I also made several Bead Chain Wooly Buggers in olive, those caught all sorts of things, the afore-mentioned sunnies as well as LMB's. I think the fish thought they were dragonfly nymphs.</p>

<p>Last Fall I tied up several Furled Extended Body Deer Hair caddis flies, size 12 and 16. Those were good, until the weather cooled off.</p>

<p>I have since tied many different nymph and midge patterns. I'm just waiting for the water to start to warm back up.</p>

<p>I have seen a lot of sunnies swimming around under a Crappie dock at my local lake.

<p>I am not trying to put you off but I am new here and not real puter savy. You can google the McGinty and the Blind Squirrel. If you will be more specific with your questions I will try to give you better instructions.</p>

<p>The spider is very simple. easier to tie than explain. The popper is simple too as is the McGinty. The blind squirrel is the most complicated and I don't do complicated so it is not too difficult either. Just let me know and I will be more specific on any or…</p>
