Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I have very limited experience with the fly rod but enjoy the technique .I would like to see folks list their top fly choices . I have caught Gills and Red Breasted Sunfish on Poppers and Beaded Nymphs, but would like to score on Streamers, and other Wet and Dry flies and learn the Art and Craft more .I hope to learn a lot from you guys!

Looks cool!

I have a summer time favorite called the "Rat faced McDougal"  originally a trout fly but a killer summer time pan fish fly around bushy banks... I tie it in #12 size

nice job Gillbuster  that's a great looking fly i have been following you for some time on youtube

That my friend is an old time pattern and a good one. It was used for trout in fast, rough water.
