make some foam beetles for sure. you can fish them for hours and hours before needing to apply any sort of floatant or switching to a new one. i've caught over 75 gills/bass (almost all gills) one day with one or two of these at a local subdivision pond. these fish love them and i fish these the majority of the time i fish small streams in the summer for trout. i would also tie up a fly i call the bluegill bugger. it's basically a 2x long 10 or 12 streamer pattern that has a brown chenille body and a red hackle tail. bluegills and small bass love them too and they're also very very easy to tie. i hope this helped you.
