Foam Dragon (Bluegill slayer) by Clark "Cheech" Pierce

www.flyfishfood.... This fly tying video tutorial shows a great foam bluegill pattern. It's easy to tie and floats like a champ

[@dougchambers424]

My go-to bluegill fly for the past 3 or 4 years. Tied in light green or white it is deadly. And takes largemouth as well!

Has become my go to top water pattern. Bluegills love em.

[@TheEzzieboy]

This pattern is great for bluegills as was stated. It is also a good general purpose bug when you need a floating "whatever" bug for smallies, lg. mouth, trout, and even carp.

I've been tying and fishing these a bunch lately and I can a vow that they are indeed a blue gill slayer. They love them.

[@katdenmark]

Very good looking fly - I will make some of them and try them for sea run brown trout in saltwater here in Denmark! I think it might look good to take a piece of yellow or pale green foam (app. 1 mm x 1 mm x 12 mm) and tie it in across the hook at 3:57 to make eyes and then trim it after the brown foam is secured - just an idea.

Did you get your trout version completed yet? Here in the North Georgia mnts. Trout is our main catch. I'm looking to tackle Brown's with.We catch and release....

If you don't mind me asking what lens do you use on your camera? Really wanting to bring my viewers some fly tying videos, but lens i have now isn't cutting it. Thanks alot and keep the videos coming!

[@jsnyd4]

thanks for the vid. I found by putting a sparkle chenille in a white or silver flash in the under body the bluegills tore it up. thanks again Curtis Fry

Nice job

[@bhumphries1701]

Been a while since this video was posted. How does it catch Bluegill-Bream?

[@riverbum1]

Did you ever come up with a trout version of this fly? I've goofed around with this pattern on the Southfork of the Snake using colors and sizes imitating golden stones and it's been a good bug.

[@FlyFishFood]

We actually just ended up fishing this one as is for trout... They ate it with no hesitation.

[@richardwilson8194]

We call it a Llano bug in Texas

[@RETROSFLYTYINGCHANNEL]

What vise do you use.?.... nice tying.

[@Cheechfisher0311]

[@BroodingDarkness]

Why not whipfinish?

[@brettdman2908]

[@stevevks]

I will be tying these up, looks too good not to catch gills.

[@thomaswilliams668]

Just wanted to tell you I tied a bunch of these in a few colors this week and absolutely crushed it fishing for bluegill! You can see on my instagram @stoneys_custom_flies. Great tie!
