flytire 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 do a search for bluegill flies in the fly pattern database on this site and you should have enough ideas to tie all summer long Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Z 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 I tie a fly on a size 12 curved nymph hook. Tail is black bird fur. body is black chrystal dubbing, black collar hackle, and small siver bead chain. When i feel like using my 3 weight, this is all that i use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nomad 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Plastic eyes, I tie this in several colors, and they do last a long time if you can keep the bass off of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 As of yesterday, it is the foam-loop Hex emerger I just posted in the pattern database!! We could not get a bluegill on any "normal" bluegill type fly. They were focused totally on the mayfly hatch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
