Format:Paperback
This book was found to be both informative and entertaining. The many techniques explainined help even the experienced bluegill fishermen catch more fish. The plates showing different bluegill fly patterns are all beautifully presented. The autors are great story tellers too.

Format:Paperback
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.

Format:Paperback
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.

Great source for fishing tactics for bluegill
I am an avid fly fisher and enjoy tying my own flies. My favorite fishing is for bluegills. I want to hang a large bluegill on the wall and this book should help me do that.

Yes, Bluegills are easy to catch...
The focus of the book is also where the large bluegills live. Weather and season wise is also taken into account. Read more

The title says it all
Decided to take up bluegill fishing as it is available in some nice places close to home. Thought flyfishing for them would be fun as I did that for trout over the years. Read more
