John,
At the first Michigan Fish In the fish just stopped biting, and somebody said the fish needed to see something different. I took ideas from several different flies about 4 I think and came up with something that the fish liked for awhile, and it made a good bluegill fly I called it "The Something Different" I'll do it in a size 18. I post a Pic of it when I get a little time this weekend, right now I have to head for a "Sleep(less) study tonite, My second they are going to "Fit" me with a "CPAP"... Fun &Games

I think I'll do something with foam and flash , a Bluegill Special.

[Rick Z]

I will let folks choose a Goldie Jr, a boa fly, or a fur tailed mohair leech.

What's a blue gill?

Great now I need to go find a gill pond and see what flies will work. Heh Anybody know a lake/pond around here that needs some gills fished out? Heh What if I tie up a fly that works well for perch? I have those! heh

Gonna have to do some "research" on this one. heh

I'm also open to ideas...

I'm new to all this so, I'm not sure I have a favorite crappie fly. I have read that crappie's like minnows. I'll offer a black nosed dace #8.

Blue Gill? Never heard off in Europe, I'm sorry to say. But I think any appetizing flie will do. I'll ty a gold head dog nobler.
