Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Awhile back, Bruce expressed his desire for a dragonfly nymph fly. While being home with a sick kid the other day, I played around, and this is what I came up with, size 10 hook.

Scott that is freaking sweet! way cool! I love how you did the wings!
Looks like Scott is following your "tying foot steps" Alex. Good job of tying guys.
Nice, Scott! What did you use for the "wings"? Looks like fuzzy foam, maybe?
Dave, it's Turkey tail feather. Coat with SHHAN or super glue and let dry. Trim out a piece of desired width. Tied in. I found it's easier to trim the feather after the fly is complete. Coat with SHHAN or super glue again.
Oh, Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails (SHHAN) :)
