Hi Threedayweekend, I like a no-hackle bugger, and have had the best success with an olive and orange no hackle bugger with a very small bead head. The way I tie it is a #10 or #12 Mustad 9672, with an olive body, and an orange tail. This is the size is the one I usually fish for gills, and have also caught crappie, a very nice cat, and numerous other species on it. I like a really small diameter olive chenille for the body.

Regards,

Gandolf
