Bluegill hunter swap

Recommended Posts

Okay, mine will go out today. The primary fly I finished first is one that has caught a ton of 'gills in years past, particularly in shallow farm ponds. Then I just bought a mixed bag of hooks and had some in there in a design that I've often wondered about. Looking at them and playing with a few different takes on dressing I found one I kind of like that I think will be good in panfish water. Maybe not. Maybe a dud. Just has a few triggers on there that work on other patterns, even if not the same sequencing. Red tag, striped body, herl thorax, CDC collar. If someone actually tries them I'd like a report on whether it will attract 'gills or scare them off their beds.

Ok got another set from Vicrider. Very nice thanks. Keep them coming guys we will have a nice set of flies when this swap is done. The gills don't have much of a chance. And I'll be curious to see how they work with our down under friend. Gary

Done and they will be in the mail tomorrow. I've had pretty good luck with this pattern tied on a scud hook but ran low so used a 200R lookalike. Hope it works as well for everyone else as it has for me.
