Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Here is my off-the-cuff attempt at a Golden Nymph pattern... With a twist.
The segmented body is made from amber glass beads!
Hook, #8 streamer, bent to give an "animated" look to the bug.
Dubbing, brown and grey
Legs, Guinea hackle
Shell back, yellow Guinea hackle
Head, iridescent glass bead
Tail, yellow Guinea quill, lacquered

The tail gills, shell back and thread joining the head were lacquered, to give a shiny look. But the cool deal is the glass beading for the abdomen.
Can you say, "translucent?"
The fish will probably tear this to shreds, but I don't care - it looks wicked.

Very cool and very buggy looking for sure....panfish and trout would tear that dude up when the Hex hatch starts in late June and July here in the north....Do you think those beads will add a little "rattle" to it if you shake it a bit?
