Bluegill prototype fly!
B or B got me interested in those Puglisi (?) style flies he caught that big bass on. Did some research, found a video. Man! Really simple to tie! Saw a lot for saltwater, but none for freshwater- so went for a baby Bluegill! This is my first one- just a prototype. Need to adjust the head and some proportions. Ready to give it a test dunking in my backyard garden pond. I'm liking this style of fly! Best---- JoeW (Can ya tell I'm excited?)

Hey thanks for the kind words all.
Now, the hard part- can I tie more than one of them! Heck, anyone can get lucky once! The challenge is to duplicate and repeat! Had a little time this Pm- modified the pattern, worked on proportions. Pond tested them- they keep their shape in the water and actually become very tansparent, dry out, then resume original shape. May see how they cast with a fly rod tomorrow. Found out that if I soak them in the sink, let them dry, then trim them, they are easier to cut to a true shape. Having fun with these, and thanks again. Best---- JoeW |

It's a bird it's a plane. Oh Heck no it's Joes supper gill.
WOW what a great looking fly. I sure could have used that when I was watching that bass tryin to nest. Joe just a hint. Da Gills are my passion. LOL one of them sure would look great on my fishing hat. that is really really cool. P.S. BGG said she sure would like to have one of them also. wink wink.
