<p>i thought i was the only one using braid as a leader.... lol</p>
<p>i too only use basically 2 styles of flys on the fly rods all top water .... foam spiders and tiny poppers... the braid i find really keeps the flys floating.</p>

That's my single best size range for a bugger. I've tried them to size 12, but never feel comfy tying them, let alone fishing them. 6-8 is just right.<br/>
Thanks for the response

I should've been more specific. Size 6 or 8. I try and use enough weight by beadhead or conehead on the streamer to get it down toward the bottom so I can retrieve in whatever manner works.

<p> I use a floating line just like with trout fishing in streams. The leader may make some difference, although I think it's minimal as most waters aren't that clear for bluegill. I like to find out what type of fly and presentation they're wanting first. Something on top like a spider or a small streamer. Normal sized Woolly Buggers work great for me for larger panfish.</p>
