Justyn 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 I got a couple patterns in swaps with basically chenille or ultrachenille or something like it just tied on the hoook. I tried this behind my house were i get a lot of bluegill and it worked. Can you guys give me some guidence about a simple pattern like this that works and is easy to tie?

Mickalo 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 check out this site for some great gill and panfish patterns. http://www.warmwaterflytyer.com/ most are pretty simple to tie and the SBS patterns are laid out quiet well too. I've tied and used several from this site and they work really well. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilson's bully (not sure on the name) is simple- cheneille body, rubber legs up by the eye, works great. Mc Ginty is another great one and foam spiders are easy. My favorite was to glue 2mm foam together (3m foam fast 77) and then punch out bodies with a sharpened piece of brass tube. Put a needle through it and you have an instant popper. Love the sucking sound gills make when they hit surface bugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coinman66 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 I would try a Bully`s Blugill Spider too. Great for when gills are deeper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2010 I've had lots of luck with Bully's Spider and the Gill Getter. Also try some soft hackles - Partridge & Orange, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a fly with not many materials. Thanks everyone. Panfish polecat Hook - standard nymph to 2x long streamer Thread - of your choice Tail - marabou tail Body - wrapped chenille Underbody - pulled forward chenille Legs - rubber or silicone 2-3 on each side Sounds more complicated than it is. Simple mohair leech Hook - same as above Thread - whatever Weight - lead wire or tape Body - tightly wrapped mohair yarn picked and brushed out Head (optional)- different colored mohair yarn 2-3 wraps. Easy damsel nymph Hook - long nymph or 2x streamer Thread - of your choice Tail - tip of marabou Rib - of your choice Body - twist marabou and wrap to the eye then overwrap rib. Legs - optional hackle Eyes - optional beadchain, mono or bead on mono I haven't noticed these to fish any better with legs and eyes but they are pretty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnickASaurusRex 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Simple yarn body and rubber legs. Kills em every time. Black yarn white legs, green yarn black legs. Some lead wraps or bead chain if you want it to sink. Not pretty, but just sleighs them around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olefish 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 Man O man : Justyn you got gill fishermen comeing out of the wood work. :bugeyes: I know there were some many. I used wool yarn on a hook back in 1959 when I was 13 yr. old, used them and tied them for many years. Kenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCream 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 One of my best simple bluegill killers is the standard yellow wooly worm in #12. I tie it on a dry fly hook and it can be fished dry or wet. -#12 dry fly hook -tuft of red yarn or floss for a short tail -yellow chenille body -grizzly hackle palmered over the body Simple and effective.

deeky 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Gills love leeches. Tie in a marabou tail just ahead of the bend. Advance the thread forward. Twist the marabou into a robe and wrap it forward. A hackle collar can be used as well - strung hackle, whatever you've got. I like mine with a gold beadhead to help get it down a little quicker and give it a little jigging action. Black and black on the colors for me. Occassionally maybe a white one. Deeky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pelhament 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Tie some yarn on a hook for subsurface or foam on a hook for topwater... Doesn't get much easier than that. It may not look like anything, but I swear gills will hit about anything, even a bare hook. The gills out here hit my double surgeon knot on my leader.
