Jerry: I'll try
that, Thanks, Chuck
A quick way to cut out triangles. Since you're always
working on your car, I assume you have a spark plug gaping gauge. Use
the two thickest gauges to cut the triangle with a sharp razor blade.
You can cut small ones or large ones just by opening and closing the two
gauges. Might even be able to use it to create the notch in the
wing.

I love
catching bluegills, when I'm looking them. I hate it when I'm trying
for others. That said, I have a little fly that seems to drive
gills batty on the surface:
This was inspired by watching a kid
catching bluegills with corn and a bobber.
Hook: size 12 or 14
dry fly (they tend to swallow 14s, so be aware)
body: peacock
hurl (I spin two strands of hurl with the thread for extra
strength)
Wing: a little triangle of yellow (other colors don't
work as well) foam sheet, with a V notch cut at the rear to resembel caddis
wings. Wing shouldn't extend past the bend of the
hook.
Thread: Black
Tie in the spun peacock at the bend
and wrap forward near the eye; tie on the yellow foam and form a head.
that's it.
I don't know if the gills want to eat it or just get mad
when they see it, but it catches more than any other fly I use.
Sometimes I get tired of how easy it is, and change to something else just
for a break.
