Okay, so this is for all those fly fishermen out there, was just wondering what your favorite fly that has always worked out for you for the huge bluegill.
Favorite Fly Set-up:
9ft rod; 5wt rod; sz 12 bead-headed barrs copper john!

Far and away, the BH Prince Nymph in #8 is the number one, go to fly for me for big BG. Sometimes I'll go with a #10, but when looking for big BG especially around full moon times starting with March, its the big BH Prince for me. Love that fly.

I've had really good luck with a wooly worm.
The only thing prettier than an NFL cheerleader is a hole in the water where the cork use to be.

Here's a couple of "March/April full moon" fish caught on the BH Prince...the first just under 12 inches, the second just over 11 inches.
