Favorite Bluegill Flies

Honestly the little tiny poppers you can get at WalMart are my favorite pond flies.

I just saw this interesting panfish pattern called a triangle fly on another site.

The Op says it's highly effective yet keeps them from swallowing the hook

Panfishonthefly love that site.

The Heather Nymph @Tom Butler showed us is another good one! Here's my take on it.

@Tom Butler fly bled some of the dye into the body portion, it looked really cool and fishy. Ill have to go back and look for that recipe to create the dye bleed.

The insect green/red became a brownish, very similar to the pheasant in a carey special. Maybe just swap out the insect green with a brownish material.

I used to use a pretty complex fly. A small red brass bead, white or yellow chenille, and a sparse marabou wing to match the body. Fished on a dry line and 9 foot leader. Worked well for crappie also.
