Very easy fly to tie Gary. This fly is tied on a Tiemco 200R #8 hook. I have changed the tail from Antron to coastal deer hair. The legs are usual rubber or sili legs. The body is 2MM foam, cut with an Exacto knife into strips, wraped around the hook to make the body. The back is 2MM foam, again cut with a knife.   Post is Antron para post. I do not know what the bluegill see, but they really go after this fly. The neat thing about this fly is you can really use your imagination of colors to catch bluegill. Yellow body with orange back really work good for me early in the day. Later in the afternoon, dark brown body with orange back works well.  Have fun and good luck.
