Without a doubt this is THE best book on the subject....with the why...and how to tie the Bully Bug....THE best bluegill fly there is (and also a darn good bass and crappie fly!). An easy and entertaining read that will help you catch more and bigger bluegills no matter how long you have been fishing for them. Strongly recommended for any level fly angler.
Amazing Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I love this book. Definetly one the most readible, enjoyable and insightful books about fly fishing I have ever read. It covers only bluegill, but I have applied alot of its advice to many species of bream. I foudn the story explaining the orgins of the Blue Gill Spider very entertaining. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you fish for blue gills, other sunfish, or go down to central america for cichlids, there is a whole lot here that applies to a variety of small freshwater species. Also, the explanation of what makes productive habitats is fascinating. I do not make reviews often, but this book is great.
THIS IS ONE YOU WILL WANT TO OWN

This work is an absolute joy to read and putter through. The writing is concise and is quite appropriate and helpful to the long time chaser of Bluegills as well as those just getting started. I have been after this particular species for well over fifty years now, and I learned quite a lot reading this even after all that time. The illustrations and photography are wonderful and add much to the narration. There are not many aspects of this sport not addressed in this work. I highly recommend you add this one to your collection.
