[VFB] QFTD
Bluegills actutally are one of the most popular fly rod species in the Midwest, at least in terms of numbers caught. They aren't talked or written about as much as other species, but their available and willing to take a fly.

I don't know that they're popular so much as they are so prolific will hit anything. I don't target bluegill, I usually catch them when I'm targeting other species, but they are fun to catch.

[VFB] Re: QFTD
Since we have very few Tail Waters in the deep South and therefore few trout, I'd say Bluegills would be the most popular inshore fly rod species. I grew up in Alabama and fished the backwaters of Pickwick and Wilson Lakes. My first fishing was with Heddon fly rod that Dad got me for my 8th birthday. With it, I fished for every Alabama species imaginable, but especially the Bluegill. Tied my own flies with my Herter fly tying kit. There's nothing quite like hooking a 3/4 pound Bull Bluegill on a light weight fly rod. In late Spring when the Mayfly hatch comes, Bluegills by the hundreds will lie in wait under the branches of willows waiting for the fall. I witnessed this first hand many times. The most fun I ever had was my Dad and I catching over 100 Bluegills in a little over an hour. That was before C R, so we took all home and I cleaned them. BTW, the world record 4 pound 12 ounce Bluegill was caught April 9, 1950 in Keytona Lake, just outside of Birmingham, AL. Considering how hard even small Bluegills fight, imagine the battle that monster would put up on a fly rod. If you've never tried Bluegills, you're missing out on some really enjoyable fly rodding.

[VFB] Re: QFTD
Mark: Yeah, It's the first fly fishing/tying book I ever bought and I have read mine probably a dozen times. In my book, I do my level best NOT to talk about the exact things they talk about, but it's hard not to , cause so many things overlap. I just really do think there is room for another bluegill book on the market..Don't get me wrong. The Wilson's is an AWESOME book. I just think that if Trout can have thousands of books, then a bluegill should be able to have at least two, specially since it is the MOST sought after fish species (at least freshwater) bar none. Thing is, there's not so many zillions of money in the latest and greatest (expensive) tackle lures, fly patterns etc as there are for other species to make all that money off of. And, I have wanted to write a book all my life, so it was a perfect fit. I was just waiting for a subject (cause all I wish to write is non fiction) that I felt strongly enough about to write a whole book, and that happened to be fly fishing/tying for bluegills (the working title is How to catch 100 Bluegills per day on a Fly Rod). Man, thing that slows me down is that I'm a redneck hillbilly trying to write a book without murdering the king's English too bad LOL. Plus, I get to put great pics of my kids and grandkids fly fishing (and catching bluegills) with me in the book, and that is a great feeling. Good thing I have a great editor (Mr. Fish) who stays on my A$$. I think he has worn out about three red ink pens making corrections and the book is just over half finished LOLOL. Sorry for writing a book here LOL..
