Ed/Chuck, while i love to fish for Gills, i hardly ever fish for them deep. 
My favorite fly to go for them with is my "Go To" trout fly, The Usual. They 
LOVE that fly. mark

Even though I am not very far from great trout fishing, I mostly fish for
bluegills and bass.

A simple easy pattern is a mohair leech or marabou leech with a beaded 
chain
head (two beads from keychain material.  You can scrounge this material or
buy it at a hardware store for about $0.50 per ft)

This type of head allows you to get the fly down.  If you fish near
structure, try to put the fly where a hidden gill can dart out from a void
and latch onto it.  I like to tie it is size 14.

Good luck
