Favorite bluegill flies?

[quivira kid]

What are your favorite bluegill flies? I'm looking for some new flies to tie and different ideas to try out. I am in need of things to ponder! The shack nasties are getting bad... I have a half dozen or so proven patterns, but if I only used what I KNEW worked, things would get boring quickly! Let's hear what you've got!

I like this one. Tim



Also look in the Fly of the Week for the Black Widow. That has worked good for me.

Crazy charlies, particularly pink, my best producer for crappie and gills. Tied in a size 4 or 6 they are really awesome. You'll get one from me in the Kansas Fish-In swap QK.

Predator, if you want the complete tying instructions with picture send me a pm. You might be able to find it with a search of the web as well.

I like a black Montana Nymph with a chartreuse thorax. I tie these on a size 10 3906B, 9671 or 9672 hook. No weight. Don't have a pic but it is a pretty simple tie.

Bream Killers have been good to me. Medium chenille on a No. 8 aberdeen with rubber legs and a squirrel tail wing. Black, brown, olive fished under a popper or foam hopper. This is a good base to add to, tails, shucks, eyes,

Cap Spiders in black and olive work well for me. I use the striped black and white legs and a 1/124 and 1/80 jig head.

Little woven nymph...few strands of krystal flash as a tail, body of woven micro chenille (black on top, fluorescent green on bottom), black hackle. Many, many 50+ gill days on ponds around here.
