5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

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.

I just started fly fishing after being out of the States for many years. As a kid I loved fishing for Bluegill every chance that I got. So I bought my fly rod and started practicing with get and getting ready to get back into fishing. This book really refreshed my memory from long ago with all the information in it. The fly patterns definately work because I have tried them and not ony caught Bluegill, but Bass, Crappie and Rainbow Trout with them. The Wilsons really did a wonderful job putting it together. I am sure that you will enjoy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bluegills via fly rod is fun.
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013

Last summer I began fishing from a kayak with a fly rod. Bluegills are plentiful, good eating, and much fun to catch on a fly rod.

This book was very helpful in its description of how to tie a Bully Spider, the primary reason I bought the book. For this information alone, I felt the book was worth its price.

The balance of the book was interesting, informative, and fun to read.

I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 because I am new to tying flies and a more complete description of some other fly ties, perhaps a sample from several types, would have been appreciated.

I am a neophyte fly fisher and live near lakes, not trout streams. I was catching a fair number of bluegill, but mostly way too small to bother with. I found them to me more of a nusience.

However, once I landed a 12 inch bluegill on a fly rod, I was hooked! (bad pun, but I couldn't resist) I decided to learn more about targeting the larger fish and this book helped me increase the average size of bluegill I bring in. These things put up a great fight on light tackle.

Please give some consideration to catch and release.

If you're after some light tackle excitement this is the book for you. Everything you ever wanted to know about bluegill, and then some, is in this book. The Wilsons cover everything from gearing up, to flies (with recipes) they've had success with, to where one might find these fish based on conditions and temperature. Excellent book for the beginner and more experienced fisherman alike. It's a light and pleasant read but is sure to teach everyone something about those big blegills and the water they inhabit.

I too have spent a lot of hours fishing for and watching Bluegill, and this is an excellent source of information on this fish and how to catch it. Easy reading and good information on how to catch Bluegill. The authors have done a great job of writing their observations. I would recommend this book for learning about or fishing for this interesting fish.

This is a nice little book for the first time fly fishing for bluegills and other small panfish. Good color picture of the flies. Could have a few pictures of tying techniques for the beginner. As an experienced fly tier, all I need are the recipes and/or a picture but a beginner would need more.

I never thought I could learn more about this seemingly "easy to catch" fish until I read this book. As an avid fly fisherman who enjoys catching everthing from bluegill to bass, this was a rare find. It is thorough in it's description of different watersheds and seasonal activity for these pugnacious fighters. A great addition to any warmwater fly fisherman's library.
