Bully Bluegill

A great fly pattern is one that is not only effective, but also very easy to tie. This fly is just that. I have caught just about every warm water species on this fly, and it is super quick to tie. Its a terrestrial pattern that mimics a spider sinking in the water. Sunfish of all species, even bass (Yes bass are in the sunfish family) love this fly. Perch, Catfish, crappie, and more love it as well. And to my amazement in my previous fishing trip, I even caught a few Rio Grand Cichlids with it! Give this simple fly a try, and then please tell me all the fish you catch with it. I think it will end up being a staple in your warm water box.
