Bluegill are where a whole lot of fly fishing enthusiasts got their addiction. If the tug is the drug, then bluegill are the gateway to so many other addicting species. Don't lose sight of what got you there, or you might miss out on some trophies that will satisfy even the most devout trout bum.

When I live in upstate Ny I had a couple small lakes that held 12" bluegills. They are a lot of fun on a 3 wt fly rod. T tied black and red foam sili leg spiders. some that floated and some that slowly sank. And I tied a greed and yellow foam leaf hopper. Both were very effective. One lake I liked was loaded with 8" bluegill and you could catch them all day until you got tired of casting. One thing I noticed over the years is that where you find real big gills you find real big LMB.

And we eat them too! I do have nice trout water only 20 minutes away, but fishing topwater bluegills is a blast with a 3-weight rod!

not to sneak it on this tender moment, but my father and I do not have any sort of relationship, so this is nice to see.

What part of Ohio are you from? I'm from Eastern KY and there's a few streams we could fish.

Flyfishing for bluegill is more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.

@iancameron198 Год назад

Can you show us what flys you used for the gills

@FrugalFlyRodder Год назад

I plan on showing that by the end of next week. Today's 4 minute video took about all day.

I've had a lot of success with a small foam terrestrial or elk hair caddis up top and a hare's ear or scud pattern below. It's not uncommon to get a double hookup, and once last summer I had a triple as a LMB tried to eat the bottom gillie, only released it just before I netted him.

@ronaldfisher222 Год назад

Why line a 5 weight with a 7 weight line ? Kind of overkill isn't it?

@FrugalFlyRodder Год назад

Nope... how much experience do you have at trying things out? 🤔

@ronaldfisher222 Год назад

@@FrugalFlyRodder A bit, I've been 1 weightover , but 2 seems to be a bit difficult not to overload the rod.

@FrugalFlyRodder Год назад

Not if it's a fast rod. The reason... I like the challenging fight of lighter rods, but, only if they are stiff enough to cast heavier flies. If you want to do that, you need a heavier line. You do know it's the line that carries the fly and not the rod... right?
