Do you love big bluegill?

Tabbert Sinking Cricket

These were the ticket Saturday. Bluegill were holding close to the bank in shallow water. Thanks Dick for a great bug. Have you ever made any small ones like this in grass hopper colors?
they would be deadly in late summer when the hoppers are everywhere.

Comment by Keith Ritter on June 26, 2018 at 5:05pm: I love and use all the flies, bugs, poppers, rascals and jigs I have gotten from the guys on this site. Dick, Carl, Tooty, Allen and Mark Stine make the finest quality lures in the country. Never had one to tear up , but I have decorated a few trees with them.

John I have memories of fishing from way back and I'm glad to share these new ones with you guys.

Dick I look forward to seeing those hoppers down the road.

Thanks for posting ,it helps me recall a fine day of catching Bluegills on Tabbert Crickets an hours hike to a woodsy pond . A beautiful memory catching Gills and Bass and getting caught in a refreshing Thundershower .It was a hot day that day

Comment by dick tabbert on June 25, 2018 at 7:22pm: Thanks for all the good words. The grasshoppers have been in my thoughts but with all that's going on here now I just haven't got to them. I have the pattern but on hold for now.
