Redwings1 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 Chedck the Red Squirrel nymph Ridderbos did in the last hatches...it is kill in gills. As you do not have rubber legs do the soft hackle version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deeky 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 bead head buggers (I prefer black), small clousers (I prefer black over chartruese w/ flash), larger nymphs (hare's ear, ptn). To make it really simple, tie in a marabou tail, advance your thread to the eye, and palmer the butt ends in a rope to the eye and tie off. Very simple leach, you can crank them out really fast and bluegills don't need the jungle cock eyes and married wings and other fancy acoutraments.

Guest Report post Posted May 25, 2006 And if you are out of rubber legs and have an old bungy cord you can end up with a lief time supply by opening a bungy cord up...so rubber legged flies aren't really our of your range. But just about any small soft hackle fly will also work for gills (size 10 or smaller) (take a look a t the latest issue of Hatches...) Believe it or not, my best non-rubber legged fly for bluegills is a Royakl Coachman Wet. Mark Delaney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iowa FLy FIsher 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Air heads catch alot of gills for me. So do alot of little streams patterns and wet flies. During a hatch drys are awsome but my fav would have to be a summers special(bee pattern). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2006 I've been doing well recently on beadhead wooly buggers(black/olive), bugeye buggers(use bead chain eyes instead of beadhead), and soft hackles. With the buggers I'm able get a little deeper and seem to catch larger bream along with the occasional bass(using sz 6-8 bugger) Spanky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
