8T... Funny you should mention how picky Bluegills can be at times. I've been having this issue frequently lately...I get LOTS of hits on nearly every fly I toss, but they seem to be hitting to kill or taste, but not eat? I've been having a very tough time getting them to take a fly good enough so that I can actually hook them. I've tried small, I've tried big. I've tried short-tailed flies, hoping to hook the "nippers". I've even tried flies tied with tough-but-soft rubber bodies. Almost everything gets HIT, but few fish get hooked. These are fish up to 8.5"+, so they aren't all tiny bluegills. Its a bit frustrating, but its fun to keep trying new flies too.
The thing that seems most odd is that these fish SHOULD be feeding ravenously right now, and shouldn't be picky?
