I've done well catching gills on black jigs I've tied.I'm a lousy tier but black rabbit fur and black thread has worked for me.
Have fun with your new hobby!

small jigs work great.black with a green tail. works great with a brass or metalic green bead head. stone flies are also great when they get picky.
cant think of where i saw it but poppers made out of old flip flops also work great. just punch out the size u want and tie them on 12/10 hook.

Thank you very much for that info, BC! My usual spot out there (and they only one I know, really) is Bethany Reservoir, up near the wind farms, a mile or 2 west of Clifton Court Forebay. It has loads of bluegill and I caught a 9" redear last time I…
Is this a rock bass or a type of bream?
My nephew asked me a question are goldfish edidable? I could not say.
I have seen one goldfish about the size of a small carp around 17 inches.
Beautiful fish! A Gillzilla!
Hey , I'm a flyroder and use crickets all the time , about the only time I use artificial flys is when I run out of crickets or I'm fishing for smallmouths. The only limitation is it's harder to fish deeper than your flyrod is long but it is possibl…
Yes they are Jim. The lower fish wasn't near the work of the top one.
Will somebody get me some distilled water! I just licked my screen! Thats one awsume lookin fly! Like boggie man said it must be a labor of love because just like his other suggestion. I just use live crickets on a fly rod! HAHA! I wish I coulda see…
Ive got a tackle box full! I love the bitsy minnow. There awsume. I was fishing with my dad and he was casting a bitsy minow while I was draggin crickets. I was embarresed when he was over 20 gills ahead. I had to swallow my pride and ask to borrow…
Cool you fly fish?
Although I usually fish for bass, the most fun I've ever had fishing was when I found myself casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala CD1's into a school of bull blue gills suspending under a creek bridge. The action was nonstop.
Since then, I'…
AWESOME question! Pop-up is the main bite early and I call that a "lift".
If you have proper gear- your float will (( lift )) slightly up in the water.
The reason I talk about sensitivity in a setup is that fish eject their food all day long. Somet…
good one Josh
The catfish in my pond are awake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which of those work for you Dale?
Is that cricket PINK?????? Greg, the lengths you have gone to fashion a cricket for a flyrod. I must apologize. I should have told you you could use REAL crickets on a flyrod. # 10 hook, single "B" sinker, small float, rollcast. I've read Shooter's…
Are they skin mounts? If they are, they are very good! Trophy natives!
