Wow thats tough!
An 8 weight is huge for bluegill but it may work. What wt. is the line??? The 8 wt. is great for bass though.
The fly you described sounds an awefull lot like a glo bug. Which is good for trout and panfish i would not use it for bass though. Post pics of your flies.
Latshki my book says that fry imitations, streamers or anything garish.
I have no experience with them though.

So did you go out there yet? I'm sure any of those small dry flies would work for panfish. Just give them a shot.

Yep, i love fishing streams, there are several lakes i could fish at and probably catch larger fish but i prefer stream.
