Only used "flies" (sinking or floating) a few times in 40 years of flyfishing for bluegills.....by far I've had the best action on floating poppers of different styles and colors (my favorite are by "Bettes")....short shanked popper hooks....any color seems to work quite well...but I suppose black really seems to be the gill's favorite......floating foam spiders(black again) really seem to attract the gills also.....can't beat that popper hitting the water and a few seconds later the "big…

I have found over the years, tying flies for bluegill are almost the same as trout. The only difference between the two fish is one lives in warm water, the other in cold. I fly fish for them the same way. The old wet fly patterns (found in the old tying manuals) work great for bluegill. The old CowDung wet fly is still one of my favorites when fishing is slow.

Thanks, Tobias! Found it! Interesting look to it. Only one eye, huh? Weird, but I bet it's effective. Probably resembles a wounded baitfish. I just may tie up a couple to test.

I found a "Crappie Candy", but no "Crappie Eye Fly". Which quarter of what year?<br />
<br />
I've been having really good success with small (#12 or #10) poppers (white, chartreuse, black), Royal Wulff (#12), Coachman Streamers (anywhere from #14 to #8), Adams (#12, #14), Black Gnat (#16), red or black ants (#18 to #12), Griffith's Gnat (#18 to #14). There may be others, but can't remember at the moment. :-)

hoppers work great this time of year . just match the hatch see whats around the place your fishing and let the fish tell you what they want.
