Synopsis of Class
Even though we have snow on the ground, summer will be here before you know it.  Many fly fisherman and women are looking forward to some lazy evenings fishing for bluegill on the ponds and streams of Indiana. Warm evenings listening to the frogs and crickets come out, Whippoorwills and Nightingales flying in the fields and bluegill kissing the surface of the water. Bluegills love to hit just about anything that lands on the surface of the water. But there is even more action happening below the surface of the water.

In this class you will tie up four very productive proven nymph patterns for catching summer bluegill. Plus they are all quick flies to tie and fun patterns to experiment with. You can tie up a half dozen of these flies in about 30 minutes so you can easily tie up enough to fill a fly box and not worry about loosing flies.

The flies you will tie in this class are,
