    The Bluegill Bug

    This is one of my favorite bluegill flies. This little floating triangle with legs has been doing a number on panfish and bass for over a decade. The unique
    shape is perfect small mouthed panfish like bluegills. The thin profile at the business end of the hook allows even the smallest fish to take it with ease but
    the broad head prevents the little buggers from taking it to deeply. If you have ever tried to remove a deeply set hook from the mouth of a bluegill with out
    harming it you can appreciate this.

    I tie this fly in small sizes (10) for panfish and larger sizes (6-2) for bass in a variety of colors. My favorite colors are black, green and chartreuse, yellow and
    black, and frog (white bottom green top).

    Pattern Recipe:
    Hook: 4x long streamer hook
    Thread: 6/0 or 3/0 Uni color to match body
    Body: 2mm foam trimmed to the shape of a diamond (for the bluegill fly pictured here I start with a rectangle of foam 1" long and 3/8" wide before

    trimming)
    Tail: Bucktail
    Legs: Round rubber color of choice

    Tying up these flies could not be any easier. Start by cutting a piece of foam into a diamond shape. I use 2mm foam for the smaller flies and thicker stuff
    for the bass flies.

    Tie in your buck tail and lash down the butts along the hook shank.

    Tie in your rubber legs.

    Take your bodkin and poke a hole in the center of the diamond shaped foam.

    Slide this hole over the eye of the hook and coat the hook shank with super glue.

    Squeeze the top and bottom together to form the triangle and lash down the back with your tying thread, tie off and your done

    Nice looking bug.

    I haven't tried tying any top-water flies for bluegill/bass yet, it may be about time; sure looks easy enough!
