Hi Chris,

Welcome to FAOL as well as the sport of
flyfishing. By all means, bluegills and
other panfish often respond very well to
trout flies. I catch most of my panfish on
"trout flies"*G* Bluegills have small
mouths and if you crimp the barb on your
hook you'll be happy that you did. Warm
regards, Jim
