This is a great bluegill fly (originated at Callaway Gardens here in GA.) This tying sequence shows how to get the legs just right.

I've been meaning to tie some of these up, but have yet to do it... Looks like a killer pattern!

It really is. It's the first fly out of the box for all the guides at Callaway Gardens. I fished with it's creator once (Carter Nelson.)
Interesting fly. Any idea what size hooks he is using on these? Will have to tie up a few.
I actually learned 2 cool things from that tie demo - the leg trick and using dub around the bead chain. I have been making some patterns and using ultra chenille... can see where the dubbing would cut down on bulk.

Not sure what he's using there, but #10 and #12 are the most popular sizes.
