coinman66 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Tied this earlier this spring. Its a Bluegill pattern EP/Congo hair fly. I dont know if the creek Smallies eat baby Bluegills, but im gonna try and find out. Yeah i know he needs a trim job. Anybody catch Smallies on Bluegill patterns?

TerryLee 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 I don't get to fish for smallies as much as I'd like to but I do know a few largemouth bass that would eat that :headbang: . I wouldn't trim too much more though. Remember, you can always take more off later if you need to, but it's really hard to put more on at this stage.

BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Yep. Tied in a 4 or 6, sunfish patterns routinely turn nice smallies in my creeks and streams. Even tied in smaller sizes to imitate hatchlings just big enough to venture from bank structure. Lunker smallie will hit that, no doubt. I like to add a smidge of yellow or orange to the breast of the pattern to give it that "sunny" look. Size and profile of this particular fly looks just right Nice tie, Coin!
