Trout/Bluegill bugs

Size 8. Wish the pic was better.Attachment 417921

Nice!

Those look great. The gills will go nuts over them

Thanks. They are fun to tie and I get to use leftover pieces from giant hex parachute flies that I have just started tying. These are a hex nymph variant. Doesn't seem like any self- respecting fish could resist them!

That looks good , I wish I could tie as good

Thank you. YouTube is a tremendous help, even at my age. Time on vise, decent tools, and the right materials help too.

Very nice, I bet some brown trout would tare them up.

Those are gonna be fun on the water. Nice work.

Thanks guys. Yep, brown trout, steelhead, and bluegills for sure. Plus, if I can present them properly to crappie I expect they would take a look too.

Looking good! I would fish those with confidence.

Those look like fish catching machines. Very nicely done.

looks like gill killers

Those are some fine ties, MCG. the patterns for gills are endless as all of the classic trout flies and beyond will catch gills. Foam based flies are killer as well, and your heart can get thumping a little fishing foamies topwater.

Absolutely, and thank you. I am going to try some of size 6 3xl dries on bluegill to see if they will also hit them. But I will have plenty of smaller ones to try also.
