well when i put it in my hand I cant even feel any weight and only the tips of the wings and the tail touches(they dont bend) looks real cool though. figured it might work on bluegill oh, it was tied on a light wire hook sorry I dont have any pictures currently

I tied a dry fly for bluegill, it is a small fly but not super small probably size 8-12(not for sure) but anyhow its has grizzly fibers for a tail and charterhuse dubbing, and girzzly hackly for the wing(wrapped around) any comments welcome

thanks alot guys I love the quick replys

i got some squirrel dubbing, would that be good for anything( i got it from hunting) also is it okay that i dont whip finish my flies, not yet anyways

OK now what is a dubbing loop, sorry for the questions

THANKS this may be a stupid question but is spinning dubbing the same as just puttin dubbing on the thread ALSO THANKS THAT IS A GOOD SITE

thanks i have also heard that the hare's ear nymph is a good fly for bluegill(looks kinda hard to tie thogh) also are mustad hooks good and which thread is better danvile or uni

the only dry fly that i have tied and is complicated enough for me,(i dont think it has a name) it has some hackel fibers for tail, white dubbing(would like to try charterhuse) and a hackle up front. not much but it looks cool other than that drys

i am new at fly tying and i would like to know how to keep every thing far enough from the hook eye as to not block it? also what are some easy to tie patterns(and sizes) that would work for bluegill? o sometimes when putting dubbing on i put to much on and after i wrap it a few times i realize this so when i try to go back it just gets into a knot. what are good hooks, and thread to use
