No disrespect meant, found these "Bluegill Bombers" in my files from the net. Bluegill Bomber By Matt, (Warm Water Fly Fisher) PA From <http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/060908fotw.php> One day while tying at the bench I came up with this fly. I was just messing around and I thought the fly looked pretty cool so I tried it out. It is a effective fly for me for panfish. They generally hit this fly while it is sinking or while I slowly pull and twitch it along the bottom. I hope you enjoy it. And this one. Gary's Bluegill Bomber This #panfish pattern can be found on southeast flyfishers forum website. I think it has a lot going for it: the peacock cactus chennille, orange legs drive bluegill nuts, and the mylar shell back along the back is bright. A little hackle behind the bead gives just a little more wiggle. This is tied on a size ten nymph hook. Certainly both different from your pattern.

Stealing the pattern and calling it something else is the crime. Using the same general name as somebody else is a big nothing. Im sure a panfish fly has been used already as well. If it is bothersome to you just call it a Squeezy bluegill bomber like Gary did. by the way, nice pattern! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
