Continuing on with the theme of the year of the bluegill (#theyearofthebluegill), this is a small frog style pattern that is fun to tie and throw at the 'gills. This is a very simple version of a bluegill popper that can be tied without a fancy popper head. This can be tied in all different color combinations, and is effective for anything that eats miniature frogs!
