Fishing Dry
![]() |
Ordinarily, when you go fly fishing for bluegill you either use a dry or a wet fly. Well, if you use both, at the same time, the bluegill don't stand a chance. To do this effectively, you need to use what is known as a dropper system:a dry fly and a wet fly or nymph tied off the dry fly's hook bend.
This strategy is useful in two situations. One is when bluegill are ultra picky. Maybe you have a local farm pond that gets fished all week long in the summer by every person in your city. Well, chances are they aren't using a dropper method for bluegill. These fish will be spooked by any bobber that is thrown in their direction, and no one else will be presenting flies to them. The dropper fly, which should be something like a stone fly nymph will look exactly like what the fish actually eat. They will be attracted by the slight disturbance the dry fly makes and then they will rush up to the nymph and inhale it.
The other time and place for this method is if you are new to fly fishing for bluegill. The dry fly will act as a bobber. When the bluegill takes the nymph the dry fly will get sucked under. This will allow you to get a feel for how subtle the take of the nymph is while having the benefit of the dry as the indicator. One problem(if you can really call it that) that you might have, is that you may get fish on both the dry fly and the nymph at the same time.
This will only be a problem if the line you are using is super light. Tippet material for bluegill should be heavy, there is no reason to use 2lb test for bluegiill fly fishing. Use a small diameter line with a high breaking point. Use four or five pound test, maybe even six if you can get away with it. Most of the time, the bluegill nymph [http://www.squidoo.com/sunfishfishing] will get attacked and the bluegill will not have time to attack the bluegill dry fly [http://www.squidoo.com/sunfishfishing] , so there will not be a double header.
