My gosh those are big Perch...Well done Sir
Very nice what fly were you using?
Man those coppernose gills are nice! Congrats! I'm also interested what fly you were using...
I am always interested in Gills that size. Thanks for posting!
its the one i always use. number 10 dry hook, bead head, wrap in copper and three spins of peacock chenille behind the head. they seem to love it!

Inspiration! Thank you!
I tied a few up with copper braid, peacock chenille, and a turn or two of patridge for a hackle... Gonna give them a run this weekend.
nice pics. but they r actually copperhead.....
I did tie a few of those flies up and used them at the KS Fish-in! The fish up here really liked 'em. I also tied up a couple with bead chain eyes for a bit slower sink, and they didn't seem to do as well.
I'm glad they worked for you! I'm going fishing this weekend. Hopefully we will have a break in this horrible heat!
We are supposed to get a break starting Saturday, 10-15 degrees cooler and maybe some rain. Hope it slides your way. I was in Louisiana in August a few years ago it was just as hot as Kansas and twice as humid. This summer, we are catching it.
