Welcome, Jim.
Gurgle Pops or similar are excellent topwater flies for 'gills.

Woolly buggers size 8 & 10 work great for me, as do modified Cap Spiders, mohair leeches, boa yarn leeches, and even San Juan Worms. There's plenty of other patterns that work well for bluegills, too.

If you haven't already visited them, a few other good websites to find fly patterns for panfish are:

ok i am lost where do you find ? the fly tying page....bluegills an smallies rule this jungle

I enjoy using a flyrod as well as spinning etc. I enjoy tying, since I can do it year round and use all the pelts and feathers I gather during hunting season. Also, kayaks are a great tool and enjoyable to boot.

Have to add my "Kudos" to Alex for his flies! He's WAY past me on the vise! :-D
