Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

This is a basic Hendrickson Nymph. I used yellow mallard flank for the tail and legs, chocolate colored dubbing for the body and thorax, and turkey tail for the wing case. It's the basic pattern for most any nymph with just changes in the in the material colors needed for other ties. The tail is too long in this one. I should have made it about half the length of the hooks shenk.

Good looking nymph,, what size hook 12?

Good tie Bruce. Wow the stuff we can tie is only limited to our imagination.

I think I tied it on a 14 or 16.

Why didn't my pictures appear in the post? Anybody know why?

They're posted "as attachments" instead of displaying the image.
