Bluegill will bite just about any fly they can get their mouths around. Although some do work better than others. These are my top five.
1. The Psycho Prince Nymph
2. The Nymphocator Tung
3. The Ice Cream Cone
4. The Zebra Copper John
5. And on occasion I will tie on this one as an attractor. Works great on Trout too.
As for depth?
It really depends where I am fishing off of. On a boat I prefer sinking line (Type 6). From shore I prefer floating line.
Retrieve?
I start out with a strong but very quick/short tug on the line, wait about a second then repeat. However, sometimes a consistant strip can work wonders too.
