EP Bluegill Fly

When it comes to freshwater environments, the apex fish can feed on surprisingly large baitfish, with bluegill and other panfish often falling victim. For the times when you are looking to fool the largest fish in the lake, do it with the EP Bluegill Fly. The EP Bluegill Fly is a streamer that looks as close to a bluegill as you can get, and it is tied with EP Fibers for movement, a pair of realistic eyes, and a weed guard so that you can cast into those logpile and weed beds without fear. 

The EP Bluegill Fly is a pattern that can be fished in most moderate to warm freshwater systems where bluegill often live, and while you can cast this fly any day of the year, it is especially effective from late spring through summer whenever the young-of-the-year bluegill are most prevalent. Fish it on a sinking line to get deep, an intermediate whenever you want that ‚hovering‚ effect, and a floating line should you want to be just below the surface--no matter how you present it, this is a fly that you can rely on to catch large predatory fish like heavy bass, pike, and walleye.
