What flies are you throwing for them right now? Let's get some pics and maybe a new idea or two going here.....

When the weather warms up a bit, my two go-to flies for bream ( bluegills, red ears etc.) are an all black leech tied on a a size 10 2xl hook or a black cap spider. I consistently catch more and larger fish subsurface than when using poppers or any other top water patterns.

Boa yarn leeches, woolly buggers, leech patterns, microjigs under an indicator, and gurglers (for topwater).

Most generally when fishing the surface for bream/bluegill I'll use a popper (includes L/M bass, too). But like already posted, have caught more fish sub-surface and here of late, with Tenkara wet flies that I have tied ...!

All I've fished this spring is an olive krystal bugger!!!
