Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

A streamer I tied a little while ago. Size 6, lead-wrapped hook shank, olive grizzly hackle twin tails (splayed out), natural deer hair over chartreuse deer hair over white deer hair. 3 strands chartreuse krystal flash (doubled over a couple times and cut), three strands of flashabou, and just enough red maribou at the throat to represent gills. I haven't tank-tested or fished it yet.

Well done Allen!

I got it in the water today.  I got a hit, on the surface, just after splashdown on the first cast.  The streamer didn't even have time to water-log and nose-dive.

OH BOY DO THESE STREAMERS LOOK GOOD IN THE WATER!!!

Now, I gotta get these in the river and try to catch some White bass.

I just had another idea.  I'm using a mono furled leader.  I may have to get my buddy to make one for me from flouro.

Of course, I may have to make a jig and furl my own leaders.....

allen when you tie identical flies of different weight a guy showed me a simple trick .use different color thread for the head on different weights.black no weight,red heavy weight,brown medium etc.keeps from weighing several in your hand to figure out which is which
