Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I would be really interested in doing a fly swap. I am thinking panfish flies. Would anybody be interested?

I will be mailing out the flies tomorrow. There are less flies than there were originally going to be so I will send back your extra flies.

Bryce, Hey buddy just keep my extras as I already tied a half dozen for my box. I only want the one the other guys submitted for the swap. Thanks.

BRYCE, Got the flies today!!!!!! Thank YOU for doing this!!!! YOU should have kept the extra SPARKBUGS!!!!!! TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED, The FLIES LOOK GREAT and CAN'T WAIT to get them in the WATER!!!!!

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!

My flies arrived today and I have to say, I need to pick up my game! I'm going to the Kingfisher Society in a week and all of these new flies will be going with me...thank you to everyone who participated and count me in on the next one

Bill, and everyone that participated:

Try hanging my Orange Nymphs under a dry fly or a strike indicator, and just let it drift across areas where the fish are.  That's how I've been catching mine lately, although with a different bug on bottom.

Hey Bill good luck on your fishing excursion hope you get one of them monsters.

FLY RODDER on RICHMAN MILLS!!!!!! LOOKING FORWARD TO A REPORT ON THAT!!!!!!!

i got mine today aswell, they all look great, cant wait to try them out. if theres another one we need some more people.

my flies came in the mail today looking forward to trying them out!

copied Greg's spark bug using dun colors (saved the original for future copies) first fish broke it off!! wish I had made a couple more. well off to the bench I'm thinking half dozen black, half dozen dun, olive, chartruese, brown...

I got mine on Saturday.  Oh, man!  Those are some nice looking bugs!  I'll have to do some work in trying to copy them!
