I have been playing around with a fly that works great and catches the heck out of Gills and Crappie.

Hook........Scud hook size 16 thru 6--- debarbed
Thread......Brown 8/0-6/0
Beads.......White Glass, Pink Glass, 3 for smaller flies and 4 beads for larger flies
Body.........Peacock herl between beads
Tail...........Pheasant Tail barbs about 4
Over Wing.Pearl Krystal Flash

Tying it all together: Take Hook and debarb, Place 3 to 4 beads on hook in this order 1 White-1 Pink-1 or 2 White. Working from head bead tie in herl between beads# 1 & 2, tie off, moving to bead # 3 retie thread, tie on herl, tie off, do same for # 3 and 4 beads retie on thread and tie on tail of 4 Pheasant tail barbs. Between Bead 1 and 2 tie on 2 inches of Pearl Krystal Flash, double over flash material after tied in and tie in again, Tie off fly at this point. Trim flash material even with rear of hook. Weight can be added if fishing deeper than 5 feet deep.

Easy to fish--strip line in slowly and hang on because this fly really works well.
