Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

i know i am opening a can of worms(no pun intended).but having chased the mighty gill with fly and rod for over fifty yrs. i thought i would ask all of you the pointed question.
if you could only fish one fly for gills what would it be,or in other words what is your most productive gill fly.

looking good Greg if they don't catch fish,I'll eat'em. did you or klrbaer weight some of those .



gators will eat you
Hey Shooter, there is about 8 to 10 wraps of lead free wire. If all goes well by the weekend I will have some open water to fish. I will pass on a report to you. These will be given a test. I've tied about 10, in all colors.
Steve , I love the pencil poppers, Smallmouth written all over them. What size hooks are we talking about?
klrbaer that is some good looking dragons you got there,nice job.






gators don't wear boots
I really like it we post new flies on here. It gives me a challenge to try and tie them.
You guys keep on posting your flies and we'll just think of it as an assignment.
Steve, Those look Great. Did you use your vinyl paint. What is the name of the vinal paint you use. You did a great job on those.
i think definitely a yellow and black pan pop
Hey Steve, great job on the poppers.
Can you give recipe?
Sir Steve , You are a master craftsman. I can see I will have to get some of this paint and start working on poppers. Lets see a GOOFY popper, If anyone can, I am putting my money on you. Thank You for sharing this. You ever think about going into this business? They look better than what you can buy in the stores!!!
Steve, tell us more about your furled tail leach ....a picture, a recipe, etc. Thanks!
When the bite is on top, a stealth bomber is my bait of choice. When things seem to be happening sub surface a bully spider is hard to beat. I use both in a size 8 95% of the time.
the bully is a great fly for gills,i fish a lot of spiders something about them legs i guess, i know i catch a lot of fish on them.
