Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Made from a recipe from snowwhite. Made with #10 shrimp hook small black bead chain eye, flash, red thread and ostrich feather. Felt good to get top the tying table hopefully more stuff to follow.

I like ostrich and emu. It gives a nice, frilly body to small critter flies. And the quills make nice tails.

Interesting these are supposed to mimic Odonata nymphs, which generally look like this:

But, they are swimmy and buggy enough to look like something yummy to a fish. And they are your typically tidy works of art. I bet something will get fooled by those.

PS Whats a shrimp hook?

Roy glad your aboard. My flies are far from good but we have many talented tiers here at BBG.  I'm sure as you get jawing around with some of the other people I'm sure you will see that for yourself. Have fun and keep in touch I love to talk fishing mater fact I love to talk period.
