Subject: [VFB] Killer Bluegill
Fly
Folks: I received some flies from Gary Webb... I tried
out one of the "Palmyra" and it is a Blue Gill Killer... Floods etc have the
fishing kinda messed up here... But, my two youngest sons and I went to the
local Watershed yesterday to our "Bluegill Honey Hole"... Caught a 7
inch Gill FIRST cast...My sons caught a few each, using this same
fly, but I ended up, in just a cplhours of fishing, with 20 Bluegill and
Shell Cracker bream...I NEVER even changed flies, cause I kept catching them
with that one... Also.. I have a question for anybody who can answer
it.. Around here (NE Alabama) the most popular fish for fly fishing are
Bluegill (and all types of Bream), Crappie, and Largemouth and Striped
(Hybrid) Bass... What makes a Bluegill fly a bluegill fly????Is it just
because it has proven to catch bluegill???? I mean, that book I was reading
last week about fly fishing/tying for Bluegill by Terry and Roxanne Wilson,
say the "Bully's Bluegill Spider" has been their best bluegill fly in 35
yrs..But is it a bluegill fly cause of the way it is tied?? or because it
catches bluegill well??? I plan to get a fly tying starter kit next month,
and want to specialize in flies for those type fish I mentioned only (unless
I go to FL to see my Grand Son and Grand daughter down there, and et to do
some saltwater fishing while I'm there)... So, how do I know which would be
the best patterns to tie???? I see TONS of "trout flies" and "salmon flies"
on sites, TV shows etc, but few "bluegill flies" per say.... Thanks for any
info, Chuck
