Wow! With a name like Skip Summer, I thought you'd be into ice fishing. G

Sorry, couldn't resist....Big Dale and Stan Gula will likely be along shortly
with some real answers.

There' a fly I use that is tied kind of "Thundercreek" style but I add
rubber legs to it. I tie it on size 10-6 dry fly hooks. I'll post a pic to
a.b.p.f.

1.Yellow foam spider, or gurgler when they will take something on top in
Yellow, chartreuse, or purple.

2. Red Ass soft hackle tied to the rear of the foam spider.

3. Green Weenie in chartreuse of course.

4. Cap Spider in black, olive, brown or chartreuse. When you need to get the
jig down to where the big ones live.

Hi Big Dale,
The above combination is deadly for bluegills out here when I go into my
bluegill mode during Spring runoff. I just tie tippet to the bend of the
hook of the foam bug and then tie the red ass soft hackle to that. Length
of that tippet varies based on mood of the 'gills and where I'm fishing.
(just kinda the standard dropper system I mostly use for trout also)
Thanks for reminding me. . . looked at my 'gill box. Gotta tie up some
more.

You might try tying a few using red wire for the abdomen. sometimes I like it
better.
