The Gill Killer is another local panfish pattern to the Northeast Indiana region. I was asked to tie some for a couple of people in that area and they mentioned that it is great for those warmwater species. It is a very simple fly that can be modified very easily to make it productive in many fishing situations (or just for fun). - - Enjoy
