Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I've got a problem.... It's winter here, and there's ice on most of the lakes. I've tied up a bunch of flies, but they are just sitting there, mocking me, staring at me with those bead chain eyes, knowing I can't do much with them for 4 months. So, I do think I'll send some of these flies to the first three people who respond and live in an area where they can fly fish year round. I'd like to see who can catch a fish on one of my flies first. All free, I pay shipping too. I can't test my flies out, so what the heck, might as well let someone else test em!

Alex

P.S. guys who can't fly fish year round, don't feel left out, I'm thinking that I'll send out some more come march or so.

Updating this, with the holidays now behind us, some flies will be hitting the post office today. I've got a whole bunch more tied up, and now I have to choose between buying more fly boxes, or sending some flies out to guys to use for ice off!

I think I'll send some more flies......
