Read up on making small crab imitations which I figure the bream in the area that live in brackish water must eat.  These are my attempts at duplicating the crab fry.  I omitted the large claws on these to make them easier to tie.

Dave, that mimics a drowned cricket! No wonder they ran for it. LOL Very nicely done! Have you tried one for a caterpillar? Steelhead and gill will love it.

Did some research on cricket imitations on line and tried to imitate what I found.  Don't think they came out bad but I have a real problem duplicating flies exactly as I see some on line do.  It seems that all flies of a type are almost identical.  I can't seem to be that precise although I don't think the bluegill will notice.

 

Three that I tied.

The July-Aug-Sep issue of Fly Fisherman magazine has an article by Jim Dean titled "Summer Gills." It has a recipe for the 'black & bluegill' that I have found to work very well with bluegills as well as bass.

Vincent, nice flies, If the 8 wt. has trouble It would be really tough on a 2 wt. :-)

these look great but can barely cast em on my 8 wt due to the weight of the epoxy
