I, too, like your flies.....You indicated weighted and unweighted. Are you saying you add weight beside the bead chain eyes?

Comment by dick tabbert on November 22, 2014 at 5:01pm

Nice ties Gillbuster kinda look like dragonfly nymphs.

They look good gillbuster.
Dragonfly nymphs, for the most part.

Care to share your recipe?

These are my all time top bluegill flies... various color kip-tail mix for dubbing and bead-chain eyes... the buggier the better...use varies types of tails....weighted and un-weighted sizes, 10 -14  troll these with sinking lines long leader in the middle of ponds/lakes... HOLD ON!

What Carl said.
If you don't have a protectant, don't fret.
You can get one.

Ken;; strip the line from your reel ;; any kind of good soap will work . soak in luke warm water for 10 minutes;; then rinse.  if its real grimy;; soak it again;; then rinse.  apply a protectant;; your set!!
