Birds Nest turned bluegill fly

[quivira kid]

Last week, I visited a fly shop and picked up a size 18 olive Bird's Nest. As I sat at my vise this past weekend, I started playing with the general pattern and came up with this...



Sz 12 curved caddis hook, black nickel 1/8" bead, brown partridge tail, black peacock ice dub dubbed chunky with a copper wire rib, brown partridge legs, purple ice dub thorax

The picture was taken after a dozen or so gills decided it looked good enough to eat. Hope y'all enjoy...

Good looking fly. Sure to catch fishermen as well as fish. Nice job dressing the fly and the color choices.

Allowing a few bluegills to pick out the dubbing is a great technique. Good looking bug there young man.
