Read up on making small crab imitations which I figure the bream in the area that live in brackish water must eat.  These are my attempts at duplicating the crab fry.  I omitted the large claws on these to make them easier to tie.

Dave, that mimics a drowned cricket! No wonder they ran for it. LOL Very nicely done! Have you tried one for a caterpillar? Steelhead and gill will love it.

when im not fly fishing this is my favorite past time,been tying for about 20 years

Did some research on cricket imitations on line and tried to imitate what I found.  Don't think they came out bad but I have a real problem duplicating flies exactly as I see some on line do.  It seems that all flies of a type are almost identical.  I can't seem to be that precise although I don't think the bluegill will notice.

 

Three that I tied.

The July-Aug-Sep issue of Fly Fisherman magazine has an article by Jim Dean titled "Summer Gills." It has a recipe for the 'black & bluegill' that I have found to work very well with bluegills as well as bass.

Vincent, nice flies, If the 8 wt. has trouble It would be really tough on a 2 wt. :-)
Comment by Vincent Ventura on May 31, 2010 at 8:38pm

these look great but can barely cast em on my 8 wt due to the weight of the epoxy
