Used the Bubba this week. Blown off the lake. Bluegills have made beds but are not on them. rain, rain rain, along with constant changes in temp. i did catch 1 9" gill who was in 10 ft water. Indiana sometime sucks!

this is still one of my favorite bluegill flies, I've been using them a lot the last few years, # 8 gamakatsu SC15 hook, chartruse pine squirrel tail, rubber legs, and small bead chain eyes.

Naw, I use them on my 2000 $ bamboo fly rod just to piss the purists off :)
