Any Ideas For Tying Flies For Sunfish (Bluegill or Bream) Fishing?

Here are some bluegill flies that have caught the most fish
consistently.

Green rubber spider with white rubber legs. - get a package of the
shaped spider bodies from a tying supplier, its a lot easier than
cutting and shaping them.

Ants - red or black. McMurry ant made with bits of painted balsa wood
is the best.

poppers - i have the best luck with small white poppers with white and
red feather tails, but lots of other colors work too

Timberwolff wet fly. - don't see this one in stores anymore but have
tied up lots and they work really well. - lead wire weighted, yellow
chenille abdomen, red floss thorax, brown hackle and white wings.

bivisible - all hackle with black or brown hackle from the bend and
finish with a couple of wraps of white at the eye

Other flies work sometimes and some places but these are my old
reliables. They have caught thousands of bluegills for me.

My 82-old-father has been tying flies for many years. Lately, he has
been tying flies with a Number 10 hook with a lead head at the eye and
white chicken feathers and/or imitation white fur. Does anyone have any
new ideas for making flies to catch Sunfish (also known as Bluegill or
Bream)? My father likes to fish for Sunfish more than any other species
of fish, so this would be a big help to him. He, and I, would
appreciate it if you could help us out.
