    Put me down for Richard Komar's Black Widow. This is the best-producing panfish fly I know how to tie. If there are bluegills around, they will bite this.

    I'm in with a bead zebra midge if I can work out the details. Zebra doesn't look so good so I'm going with a Black Line Fly. Also found a book on tying with beads. Should arrive Monday or Tuesday. May change my mind then.

    I need to change my pattern (I don't have the right black feathers). I wound up doing a larger version of a Mercury Midge, using Spanflex for the body. I tried it out at the stream by the house and caught 4 bluegills, and 3 Rainbow trout (they didn't seem to mind that it is huge, for a midge...) in less than 45 minutes.

    Since it uses a different body material, I guess I'll call it the Giant Mercury Bluegill Bug.



    Hook: sz. 14 scud
    Thread: 6/0 black Unithread
    Head: 6/0 clear glass bead from Walmart
    Body: white Waspi Spanflex
    Ribbing: medium copper Uniwire
    Collar: black dubbing

    They'll go out in tomorrows mail.

    If I can find the right beads, I'll be tying a green scud.
