I was fishing this past weekend for bluegill. My wife was useing her
Ultralight set up and live brown crickets. She was catching them with
almost everycast. Me...fishing a few feet from her with my flyrod was
catching just a few. I tried every pattern I had that resembled a cricket
or something similiar. The fish would always go to the live cricket. I
tried different presentation techniques. Different methods of
retrievals....etc..etc.... To no avail. Is there pattern for a brown
cricket that anyone has had success with??? Thanks Mike

Here's one that Warren contributed to a roff swap: http://tinyurl.com/27a2m
He wouldn't give up the recipe, so you're on your own. ;-)

If you *really* want to catch bluegill on just about every cast, Here's the
bluegill swap Stan hosted last year: http://tinyurl.com/24zqp
I can honestly say I've tried all of these and caught bluegill with each.

BTW, don't tell Warren, but I used that hopper for bluegill myownself and it
worked great.
