Fly Tying a Rubber Legs Bluegill Fly with Jim Misiura

One of my favorite pan fish flies, the trusty old rubber legs. Tie this in any color you like, weighted or not, it will catch bluegills and sunfish! Good Luck with yours!

Thks Jim!! I'm learning both tying & fishing from your videos. Thanks again and have a great day. Ed.

[@CircleTBound]

The insides of a bungee cord work great as legs too. Nice tie Jim.

Now that's the kind of thinking I try to relate to my viewers. Thanks for the Tip! Jim

[@panchopachangas4450]

AJ Hamilton thank you for that life hack sir!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Angelo, This fly always works for me, with and without lead. Jim

[@marvincline9365]

[@TheFlymanJim]

+Marvin Cline Thanks Marvin good luck on the water.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Tony, It's great to hearsuccess stories. I did pretty well on the lake yesterday as well. I was using my "Foam Head Diver" in a size 2. 3 smallmouth 15" 4 Crappie 15" 2 Bluegill 10". When you pull it under keep pulling and it will swim 6" under the surface, stop and comes back up. Thanks for your support. Jim

[@yoopermann7942]

i found flys that catch panfish will also catch small stream trout as well,, thank you for the tips

[@TheFlymanJim]

You bet

[@mopardart75]

thanks for the great video Jim, sitting down to the vise now to tie a few of these. anxious to fish these at night outa the boat with the crappie light.

[@coreyjohnson2418]

great looking fly

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks 👍

[@kilpatrickriley11]

it is good to see im not the only one who uses spinner bait skirts for legs

[@angelo69jes]

I tied a few yesterday, great looking fly. No lead wire I like with a slow drop. It's a killer!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Good to hear from my southern nieghbors. Thanks for your support! Jim

[@draven3838]

Bream killer, my absolute favorite fly

[@TheFlymanJim]

This is a good fly for that. I have caught so many on a single fly that it will eventually fall apart. That's what I would call a good day of fishing.

[@saulcervantesga]

Great fly thanks regards from Jalisco, Mexico.

[@czn963wt]

Nice simple buggy lookin fly, Thanks for posting, I will tie a few of these tonight..... ........Don in SC

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks Don, This fly can be ripped apart down to just the legs and still catch bluegills.

[@czn963wt]

Jim Misiura I just finished tying three of these in different colors......Don in SC

[@johnsimpson8175]

Great video, I am going to type a few for this spring

[@loribitner824]

this is a great video I tied one with camo chennile and white rubber legs caught a lot of bluegill and a big bass

[@TheFlymanJim]

Hi Lori, That's great to hear, there is something about the rubber legs that drives those gills crazy. I've had all the chenille removed from the fly and was still catching them with just the rubber legs.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks for the kind words guys! jim

[@drewwilson145]

I'm going to try this. it looks like a killer fly for bream. Thanks

[@nathanhardin5666]

Jim, I used this pattern in red and pink for a stocked pond and caught a lot of crappie

[@codyhughes3364]

Good stuff i tie an ant variation its a bluegill killer. I always tried tying lead in after my tails. Always love to learn new thing works much better to do beforehand

[@saulcervantesga]

Gracias voy a atar ese patrón

[@TheFlymanJim]

Gracias

[@karencrawford6903]

It would be nice to have as nice of fly tying stuff as you I'm just started 2 years ago

[@fishhog3020]

I like it thanks

[@TheFlymanJim]

Welcome 😊

[@7686kelly]

I love it

[@edmayes1532]

Nice fly! How deep will the lead wrap let the fly sink? Also, on one of your other posts, you used a multi strain thread. I can't recall the fly U tied using this thread. Really enjoy your site. Been a great help.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Hi Ed, the lead will take this fly all the way to the bottom, that is depending on the length of your tippet and whether or not your using a sinking fly line. It take the fly down at a slow to medium pace. I usually twitch it along the way which brings it towards the surface every time.

[@MatteoOnlyFlyFishing]

simple and atractor!

[@TheFlymanJim]

Almost everything in fly tying is a by-product of another industry. The trick is to learn what these are and bypass the middleman.

[@dylanwilliams4556]

Nevermind my other question I wasnt paying attention when i read the comment the first time

[@fishingkid4607]

Would olive chenille/thread work with yellow legs?

[@TheFlymanJim]

I sure will , just about any color you can thing of will work.

[@thelipslayer8312]

Can you tie these in different colors

[@TheFlymanJim]

Any color you want

[@justintiptonnn]

stronger than garlic

[@fog264]

Can you make it out of other colors of chineal?

[@TheFlymanJim]

Evan Foglesong You can use any color you want. I also like brown, Olive and yellow

[@fog264]

cool

[@dylanwilliams4556]

can i tie this on a size 12 dry fly hook?

[@TheFlymanJim]

+Dylan Williams hi Dylan you can tie this on a dry fly hook. If you want it to float try tying in a hackle like the Griffith's Gnat. That is sure to take the bluegill anywhere you fish it.

[@dylanwilliams4556]

Can i still tie it on s dry fly hook even though i don't want it to float

[@TheFlymanJim]

Yes you still can.

[@brysonaquino9059]

where do you get the wire?

[@TheFlymanJim]

Bryson you can get the lead wire or lead free wire at just about any fly tying supplier. Check your local regulations on the use of lead, some places forbid the use of lead, hence lead free.

[@wildlifehunter5439]

Do u sell these flies

[@TheFlymanJim]

+Wildlife Hunter yes I do you $20/doz you can paypal me the money.
