Do you love big bluegill?
what are the best flies for pond bluegill fishing?
well I just want to know that because Ive only been fly fishing for bluegill for about a year now and Ive still haven't learned what it takes to fly fish for bluegill but I know that one of the things is having the right and appropriate flies for the type of water you fish.

I fish clear New England waterways with poppers with legs with great results. I've been able to put together a two family fish fry or big chowder with a single day on the water.

I've developed my own patterns over the years. Many of them beadheads and coneheads. I've been doing it for 60 years. I hav'nt had much luck with boughten flies.

hoppers work great this time of year . just match the hatch see whats around the place your fishing and let the fish tell you what they want.

I have found over the years, tying flies for bluegill are almost the same as trout. The only difference between the two fish is one lives in warm water, the other in cold. I fly fish for them the same way. The old wet fly patterns (found in the old tying manuals) work great for bluegill. The old CowDung wet fly is still one of my favorites when fishing is slow.

Only used "flies" (sinking or floating) a few times in 40 years of flyfishing for bluegills.....by far I've had the best action on floating poppers of different styles and colors (my favorite are by "Bettes")....short shanked popper hooks....any color seems to work quite well...but I suppose black really seems to be the gill's favorite......floating foam spiders(black again) really seem to attract the gills also.....can't beat that popper hitting the water and a few seconds later the "big slurp" as a big ole gill engulfs your popper and the fight is on!.....ahhhh summer!....lol!.....can hardly wait!

Ditto, but they shut up after going with or eating the results.
Aw shucks there I go making a fool out of myself on line again. Sorry about the whole rooked thing, I saw that was on a different post of one of your pics Zach. I'm a little paranoid about Google, so thats where that came from. I've gotta work on my…
thats a big ole chinqupin
My stomach usually doesn't give the scales enough time to join in on the action though.
They are a very different fish I'll say that. The best I have figured so far is that they like the bottom and live bait, not to say that they wont strike an artificial, it takes some real skill though from what I can gather and I really admire those…
I was kind of worried about that, but I have seen some variations of Hybrids look this way, or at least that is what was posted on the internet.
We always called these black pearch.
To be honest I do not think the Green Sunfish have the yellow bel…
I am still trying to figure out how to fish for Redear. I have not had much luck with them. The seem to be pretty smart.
Do you have tricks you would like to share on catching these guys?
Did you happen to get the weight of any of these fish?
They fight just like a big bluegill. I am told you can eat them but haven't tried yet. The ones we caught today went to a friend who has a pet shop. I wouldn't mind trying them though. They are local to south Texas and I would imagine that they eat…
Oops sorry Zach I forgot about need a trout stamp on your license.
Bank access has improved since they began stocking trout back in the late 90's. As of now State regs require a trout license to fish it during the season ($10). If you plan to launch a boat you will need a permit. Not sure about other options as far…
About the only time you can fish Pawhuska from the bank is when they drop the lake for trout season. There is no cost to fish it.
I know, I will have to try it out this fall when the temps drop a bit. Can you fish it from the bank at all, and is there a cost to fish it?
Oh brother, Zach living in Northeast Oklahoma and having not fished this lake before......Let me tell you.
A spring fed 90 Acres of Heaven.
The wildlife department comes in and stocks trout every other week from November until the end of March (bl…
Cedric you are truly gifted to be capable of putting things like this into the words they way that you do. I've been reading your posts, you have just gained a huge fan. Cant wait to hear more from you!
I have yet to fish lake Pawhuska, is it a nice lake? Did they stock everything in it?
So how do they fight and can you eat them?
almost has a knot head
