I guess I agree with everything beside the rod wt. A 5 wt works amazing for heavy weed cover (hopper dropper technique) and gives a little more backbone for bull bluegills up to 1-1/2 lbs.
I use a 5 wt as well but that’s more because of my budget constrains. I can’t have a 6wt and a 3 wt so I went with a 5wt. I also don’t fish for tiny bluegill as so a heavier rod seems to work well for the larger (8+ inch fish)
I’ve never caught a bluegill and thought my rod needed more backbone after. Usually it’s more like I wish I’d caught it on something that could have bent a little more
Thanks 🐟👍
bluegill discussions make me hungry.
Thanks 🐟👍
@@GuideRecommended My girls and I are in a pop band here in Kalamazoo; The Mighty Bluegills.
Great video David sure I would watch some of your fly tying videos thanks again.
Cool, I be go it on my list👍🐟
My fav fly is the foamies with rubber legs. Mainly the spiders. Another is mosquito or bee.
Thanks 🐟👍
I once snagged a coot with a tiny popper similar to those. Hooked it through its webbed foot. Something the size of a small duck that’s trying to bite you is difficult to land and unhook.
3wt. is most definitely the right rod. All of these people talking about 5’s being perfect probably haven’t fished a 3.
Thanks 🐟👍
Bluegills are the best!
I agree 🙈🙉🙊
Just found your channel. Good job sir. Yes, on doing some tying vids.
May I preempt what you might say about tying kits?....that is..dont buy them. With the plethora of fly tying videos and instruction, just punch in your questions about equip and materials. A good vise can be the starting point. From there, find basic patterns and materials will fall into place. Kits are generally garbage. You have plenty of instructors on YT!
I recomend, you posting the name of each fly along side of your # 1,2,3, ect. It was alittle bit hard to understand the vocal audio. But Thanks for the video.
Great suggestion, Thanks! I'm desperately waiting for spring (I'm in Michigan) to get out and chase some gills....
@Guide Recommended FANTASTIC, Ilive in Muskegon MI. I'm so ready my self.
I like a foam humpyies in yellow with a heel body.
Thanks 🐟👍
What I love to do is tie a size 6 Chernobyl ant on top and a size 14 prince nymph on the dropper. They can’t resist the prince.
That's a great combo!
Like the fly recommends but disagree on the rod wt selection. The all around 5wt is fine for gills…unless you want to feel like you have a bass on the line.
Make my own leaders and go from 0x at 5.5 feet, 2x for 2 feet , 5x for 1.5 feet, then tippet of 6x for 2 feet.
Thanks for the note. Nice leader formula!! 🐟🐟
I’ve had good luck with a gray, copper or black flying ants behind a popper or diver. For bluegill and crappie.
Thanks 🐟👍
this video perfectly answered everything i was looking for and more
I appreciate the note! 🐟
I’ve had some great luck with the olive adams up in the northeast
Thanks 🐟👍 Great Fly
All of those even the popper our great for trout
Thanks 🐟👍
Can you Tenkara Fly fish with poppers Sir I'm just getting into this style of fishing
With poppers the action comes from stripping the line in. I guest you could do that by twitching the line with a Tenkara rod. I love using Tenkara to fly fish small mountain streams.
I just go with a green Winnie
Bead heads with rubber legs have also been good to me.
Thanks 🐟👍
Flytying videos for sure
Tying a winter, getting out this week to chase steelhead. Videos coming soon!🎣
You need to get into fly tying starting with the basics and then progressing to simple flies. Should you decide to be sure to list materials and their subsystems please.
Thanks, great comment!
My favorites are popper or spiders
For sure. When the bluegill are aggressive on top water bites, I feel like you can throw just about anything out there and they smack it
Especially in the spring when they are on the beds..🐟🎣
Spiders are my fav for bluegill. If everything else fails... always the spider grabs their attention.
I missed the close ups. Need closeup with the name of the fly on screen
Ugh.. good point. I'll try to do better 😎😎
You must be catching minnows with those tiny flies. We go for big gills
Minnows 😎😎👍
That was a red belly sunfish know your fish before you post a video
Thanks I appreciate the help.
Sorry I wasn’t meaning to be rude but I catch that fish a lot and I noticed you got the species wrong
