So, do any of you folks fly fish for gills. I pasted below my favorite blue gill fly... the Jitterbee. What's yours?

No I don't... but that little beastie might tempt me to. Did you tie it?

Yep! I love to tie... I tie warmwater flies for some of the local fly shops.

I catch bluegill on ugly white foam rubber legged spider poppers. That is way too pretty for a bluegill, but I really like it. Do you have a pattern you'd care to share?

Simple foam popper or foam ant. I have tied some simple bugs with craft foam, rubber legs and dots from a marker. I don;t think Gills care if it looks to realalistic.
