mmm chernobyl ant (white over blue) uhhh no mayfly!  nope nope wait adult damsel  er no the bluegill bully oh heck I can't decide!

Ya I agree I also like the bully spider and many foam patterns

Is a mayfly/beetle foam pattern in orange or tan. It is the most fun to fish on top water. The most productive is an olive wooly bugger with gold bead head.

I would have to say the Mosquito for Gill's 

My go to fly is a Naybee!  Size 10 dry fly hook, peacock hurl body, copper wire rib and bead chain eyes.

Where might we find good bluegill fly patterns, with materials used to make them?

That's a mighty fine Web site.  I've bookmarked it.  Any more like it?

Nice fly patterns Trevor thanks for sharing.

Bob you can surf around but I think you'll find the site is one of its kind. Great people with great knowledge and above all great sharing and friends.

Big fan also of the Kinkhammer, great on trout also.  I have began to fill my boxes with this fly, love it! Adams is the other fly that gets bit as well.
