EP Bluegill
The Ultimate Freshwater Bass Fly Pattern
When trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass are keyed in on panfish, nothing matches the lifelike presentation of the EP® Bluegill. Tied to flawlessly replicate one of the most universally recognized freshwater forage fish, this 3-inch, size #1/0 fly is an absolute must-have in every warmwater angler’s box.
Crafted using premium, ultra-durable EP® Fibers and a touch of flash, this pattern perfectly mimics the profile, fluid movement, and subtle shimmer of a live bluegill without waterlogging. Whether you are stripping it along weed lines, pitching it under docks, or working structure, its realistic action triggers aggressive, instinctual strikes from predatory fish.
