Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Below are 3 foam bluegill/crappie, perch, etc. bugs I tied recently. I used Kreink Braid for the under-body to add a little flash, and also for a tail. There is no end to uses for the Kreink Braid. I add the braid to some of my trout flies, too. The rest of the bugs are just the usual foam cuts. I've included a photo of how  the braid looks from the bottom. It seems I need to be a bit tidier with my tying. Oh, well, the fish don't much care. I downloaded my new Olympus software for my camera and I wanted to try it out.
