Brad,

Just about any nymph that you would use for trout will work for bluegills. PTs, Hare's Ears, Copper Johns, anything seems to work if it's fished at the correct speed and depth.

Same goes for surface flies. Traditional dries will take lots of surface feeding 'gills.

You can, if you choose to, specialize and find patterns, or devise your own, that are specific to the bluegills in your area. Sometimes a 'hybrid' fly, with colors not normal to the trout stream may be more effective.

Still, you really can't go wrong with a high floating dry fly with a hare's ear or pheasant tail nymph on a dropper behind it.

Good Luck!

Buddy
