Such a great diversity of talent and superb tying on the last few pages. 

Well done you guys, well done.

Bluegill Bomber “B2”. (Google says that isn’t a fly pattern). Hopefully that’s true - not trying to steal anyone’s name. 
 

 

 

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.

I wish I could get fly heads to be that nice.  Any hints, advice or references on how to do that would be appreciated.

I think you’re being overly concerned about a generic name. 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!
