Thread: Favorite bluegill flies?

    Default Favorite bluegill flies?

    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.
