If you tied up 10 you just won't get one of yours back.... There are 11 including the swapmaster...

Well the joke is on me I didn't catch the sarcasm from bream buster out here I don't hear them called bream until I started to do research on a bluegill pattern man do I feel dumb. It's been a long couple of weeks. So I was serious if anyone has some advice on a type of fly or some kind of pattern I would greatly appreciate it because this one is not exactly in my wheelhouse.

Hey MTFlyJunkie. A good place to start would be here:

 

http://www.warmwaterflytyer.com/patterns.asp

 

 

Be sure to scroll all the way down. Click the link at the bottom of each section and you will find patterns, material lists, and tying instructions.

 

If you need more help, let me know.

 

BTW, in the South, many of the so-called "Sunfish" family members are called simply, "Bream." That includes Bluegills, Redbreast, Shellcrackers, Warmouth, etc. But not members of the Bass or Crappie family.

 

Riff and I talk A LOT about 'Gill patterns & so I knew he would get my "Tease."

 

Take care

They also have the name Perch, why, I do not know, it's just what they call them down here also. By the way my June and July bugs are in the same envelope and it went out yesterday, you'll know which is which.

So I finally have something that I am ok with sending in I am going to warn everyone that it may not catch anything. Sorry usually I send field tested field proven flies this isn't a fish that I chase much if at all so it looks good to me but I don't know what the bluegill will think. They will be in the mail as soon as I can.

Flies in the mail. I tied my woven gill nymph in sort of an "electric chicken" coloration. They're gaudy but they work.

Prayers are with you. Fly tying is a good gentle rehab post op but not sure the Hospital allow dead wildlife in.
