Whats your best bluegill fly

Yellow Humpy - sz 12.

Went out yesterday to my local warmwater fishery. The lake is very low and large bass weren't cooperating but happened to find a cove of bluegill and crappie. Sort of unusual for this lake as they have usually retreated to deeper water during the day by now. I tied up a lot of mini and micro Thunder Creek streamers over the winter for trout but haven't had a chance to use them for trout yet. Very successful yesterday.








I had to laugh - when removing my fly, I couldn't help but notice he had just had a meal:

Today it was a black/yellow striped popper. This 2wt is so sweet to cast, just love it.

Folks...this is meant to be 'light-hearted' so if you are a purist...stop here! Asking forgiveness in advance from the moderators!

My granddaughter and I fished a local pond with fish feeders and decided to 'match-the-hatch'...success! Fish every cast...good practice casting and setting the hook....but got old after a while. There is a 'pellet-fly' in her hand...see if you can spot it!

[Loogie]

Yeah I bet your granddaughter loved the excitement of catching...very nice fly btw!

I have to admit doing the same with my daughter long time ago on Green Lakes in Syracuse.

This one in my pond took a wooly bugger fished with a Goodwin Granger 7633 Favorite.

Black wooly or hopper 'n' dropper, usually a Prince nymph.

Old chewed up nymphs. I get sister nice ones on bass bugs

Ice cream cone chironomid/bomber.
Since my kids could stand and hold a fly rod they have been rocking the local bluegill pond's denizens with "Ice-cream flies". 100 fish in 2 hours between them is not unusual. It is quite fun to see the crowd of fish around the flies when they hit the water. For myself I prefer a nice porter, cause all I do is unhook fish...

An ant... there are times that's the only fly they'll touch!

I like fishing frog patterns for large mouth bass as I can cast them out and then give a little twich. But I do end up catching a lot of large bluegills in the process. Man, they sure can stink up my landing net -
