Put me down for Richard Komar's Black Widow. This is the best-producing panfish fly I know how to tie. If there are bluegills around, they will bite this.
Put me down for a Seed Bead Wet Fly for July.

I'm in with a bead zebra midge if I can work out the details. Zebra doesn't look so good so I'm going with a Black Line Fly. Also found a book on tying with beads. Should arrive Monday or Tuesday. May change my mind then.
I'll do a Bead Body Caddis Pupa
Flies are in the mail.
I need to change my pattern (I don't have the right black feathers). I wound up doing a larger version of a Mercury Midge, using Spanflex for the body. I tried it out at the stream by the house and caught 4 bluegills, and 3 Rainbow trout (they didn't seem to mind that it is huge, for a midge...) in less than 45 minutes.
Since it uses a different body material, I guess I'll call it the Giant Mercury Bluegill Bug.

If I can find the right beads, I'll be tying a green scud.

:D
I got mine, too. Great job everyone.
I'm gonna try out the woven fly whenever it stops raining (most likely in November.....).
Got the flies in, they look great. Now for work to settle down so I can try them out.
Flies arrived yesterday. One striped bass (go figure) and several bluegill today. They work just fine.
Thanks,
Bill
