Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Bunny Midges. Really easy pattern to tie, which is a good thing, since I started with size 16, then did some 18's, then some 20's. Was planning on tying some 22's, but the first hook I put in the vise popped out and went flying. Not good....

The wing is Snowshoe Rabbit, hence the name. Should float good. Need to give them a try soon.

Yep ... I use dry flys and add a segment of GULP waxie as a tail makes the bait near neutral but just a bit more... the split shot pulls the bait assembly down quick and then the fly/waxie combo near suspends around the shot... drives Lepomis nuts

I have scud/caddis hooks in 12 and 14.  They would be kind of large, but you never know.  Heck, down south that would be a good size for a Mosquito.  Switch up to white thread for the rib instead of the grey.  I might have to do some......Dagnabbit!

How about 10 12 and 14's. Looking good Allen.

Slip, these are intended to float.  Not sure if I want to drown them.  Not saying it won't work....

Thanks gents!
