Put it on the hook and the hook no more than sank down and caught a big bluegill

As kids, we'd do the same thing with the big old horseflies when we ran out of worms.

These are three of my most productive bluegill/panfish flies.

The top picture is my best producer.  I used a soft foam spider body as the template.

Middle are floating mop flies, I treat the mop pieces with floatant.

Bottom:  Left side, Tony's Froggie, my second best pattern.   Right side: Bluegill Bug(?)  I didn't have much luck with them this year

Yellow is the most productive color, followed by white

Two of my very favorites, excellent for so many species

Woolly bugger and an elk hair caddis

Also, a friend of mine who used to target very large bluegill swore by a large Prince Nymph in size 10 or 8.

What little bluegill fly fishing I've done, this one has been killer

I have a lot of luck with a hopper dropper rig. Simple hopper on top , with either a Killer caddis (in red or green beads) or a San Juan worm below.  Now what Bluegill/ Sunfish wouldn't eat a San Juan worm for crying out loud. It works really well for me.  Now the hopper by it self works well too of course, but some times those sunfish that come to look but not eat will nail that little morsel dangling below the top fly. (Note: photo's are not mine but are from the web.)
