Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

My first black field cricket tied on a #10 3x dry fly hook. I need to do a lot of work but I think I have the basics down. It only took 4 hours now I have to work on my flaws and getting faster at tying it.

Thanks Tooty coming from a fellow tier make me feel like I've achieved something but still a far way from what I wanted. Hopefully I'll be able to post as I make improvement. I think the next one could even be a brown cricket.

Thanks Greg. You know I know it will probably catch fish most flies will on a given day but I have to fatten it up and maybe even shorten him up a little..
