Well.now that trapping is almost over I'll be shifting into fishing mode. I'll open up my fly box and post up some that I've tied. Love flyfishing!

i figured out that craft foam and spinnerbait skirts make the cheapest and most effective designs out there

If you ever stop by Parker I'll show ya rather than taking pics.

I use alot of wooly boogers, and black ants...big ol bluegill love em!!! I haven't tied any in probably 5 yrs or more, I should do that one of these days!!!

 

[coyotekilller]

i catch the gills on white poppers and sneaky petes:smiley:

 

[Mailman]

You can't beat the black gnat for big blue gills......

 

[JBMan]

ahh yes, i've done something like that, however, i never seem to have any luck with traditional flies. i must have "special" panfish around my parts!

I could spend ALL DAY on a pond full of bluegill with a #12caddis/sedge... All kinds of fun and a great fish to eat also.

what i also do mail is make a fly the one you illustrated, but behind the hackle i tie a piece of foam. cut like a long skinny triangle, then wrap the hackle and the foam to the back of the hook, then bring the wrap back toward the head just infront of the hackle. then i cut off the top of the hackle and fold the foam over and tie it off. works great when the beetles first pop out in april

R2... dont you have a hybrid bluegill pond? Whats say we flyfish that rascal one of these days during spring?

 

[FiremanBrad]

Most times, when fly roddin for bluegills, I tie on a popper bug of some sort, and a wooly worm, or black ant about 10 inches below the popper bug....sometimes ya even catch 2 at once!!!

While fishing years ago, I once made the statement that bluegill, cause they arent too finicky, would probably hit a cigarette butt. A friend of mine said I was crazy.

#8 aberdeen hook through a marlboro butt netted me 5 more fish that day!

 

[FiremanBrad]

I'm bettin there were some cold beers involved in that fishin trip....lol

 

[rat]

Nope... well, maybe a couple!:cheers:

 

[JBMan]

ohhh, did i come across a good un for poppers, you take the cheap colored flip flops from wal-mart..... 4 for a dollar, and cut wedges out of the material, then you trim them up and glue them to a hook. add some hackle and a tail behind it, and you have a foam popper! it was in one of the previous magazines of FFG.

I know this isn't a fly or popper but I was fishing last fall in farm pond and used a black and charturse crappie tube jig. They sure tasted good.
