Those would knock the bluegill dead around here. Probably lots of other fish, too. :)

Being as I am primarily a panfisher, I think I'm going to have to try a few of these up tonight to toss in the creek in the morning.
I stomped a bee on the bank and tossed it in the water one time, it didn't make 10 feet before it got massacred. (Pronounced massa`kreed in these parts.)
Thanks for the inspiration.

olololollol!!!OLOLOLOLOL! I'm easily amused. :D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but why or what makes this color scheme tempting to fish. To me it looks like a wasp fly. I'm not questioning your fly, I'm just trying to catch more bluegill in my little pond in the middle of los Angeles up on a 1200 ft. hill at 6:00 in the morning. Just ask'n. Ya know... learn'n.

I'm guessing it because they look like candy. Mmm...candy... :D :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)

Good luck Kirk & Ariel! I hope you have a great day. It is a beautiful fall day here in Western New York. Nice and cold, clear and sunny. Last night we had our first frost on the pumpkins (overnight low of 27°F). The leaves are well into their color change & the air has that nice crisp smell to it. I love fall...

Yep, getting cold here, too. It was 60 most mornings last week.....
I got the flies tied, but didn't manage to make it out fishing. The annual car show was going on and I had to go. Had to. By the time I was through there, the wind was up past the cussin' point, so I walked the creek with my camera, practicing. Had a good, quiet couple of hours. If this band of rain blows through, I may go out later today.
