Warm water flies

Bluegills are easy. Any of the flys you've been using for trout will be
fine.

You can also add small cork poppers, & spun deer hair bugs to the mix
(keep the size of a bluegills mouth in mind).

For Bass, use streamers that mimic the predominant forrage fish in the
waters your'e fishing, and full sized bass bugs.

I have been teaching a 11 year old to tie flies. He wants to tie flies
for bluegill and bass. I have tied trout flies for about forty years
but have no clue what to tie for bluegills. I need HELP !!..

streamcaddis,

*any* fly you tie for trout will work for bluegills and sunfish. they
are not fussy at all.

A small suggestion for you... Tie with large hooks. These fish don't
think about what they're doing. They aren't selective like trout.
Something hits the water and they're all over it. These fish ALWAYS
swallow hooks, so I find that using popper sized hooks on these fish
makes it a helluva lot easier to remove them from the fish's mouth.
Don't worry about their mouths not being able to open wide enough,
you'll hook plenty!

Thank you for all the info, it really helped . I spent a lot of time
on the web looking up warm water / bluegill flies.

Foam spiders with rubber legs. Use any kind of foam from closed cell to
open foam. I have used them for years and given a handfull of these, he
will have a better than even chance of getting more than he can lift out of
the water...

Pan Fish are very agressive and will try to eat almost anything. Try
tying ants and beetles. They are easy to tie and very effective in the
summer months. They also work in the spring.

There are many sites that have step-by-step directions on how to tie
them so your student can use them as a reference if needed when you're
not around.

Frank , thanks for the info. I went over to Hobby lobby to get a can
of adhesive and they had a pack of 2 mm foam, every color in the book
for around $6.00. Needles I have enough foam to last me a life time
and beyond. It sure is fun teaching the kids how to tie. I think I get
more out of it then they do.
Thanks again,,,Dave..
