By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS ONE YOU WILL WANT TO OWN, October 26, 2005

By	D. Blankenship (The Ozarks) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all, August 20, 2006

By	Carlgo (Carmel Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

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.

Searched for some sort of guide because I was the only fisherman in the US that never actually fished for or caught a bluegill.

This book on Amazon certainly had the right title, so I bought and read it, ebayed some suggested flies, went out to a beautiful reservoir, caught a bunch of bluegill and ate them.

This is an informal and informative little book with beautiful illustrations and mostly decent photos. It does focus mostly on the south and lower midwest. The north and west are, I think, a little different, but still the advice is good and the author's passion undeniable.
