    Well this is a little late but Bluegills are some of the best fish to catch on the fly. Your normal trout rod with do the trick. Start out with some foam spiders. You can pick those up for cheap at the tackle shop. Get a few small poppers to go along with those. I would also grab some small nymph patterns. Copper Johns, Pheasant Tailed Nymphs, and Prince Nymphs are good places to start. All in sizes 8-14. One of the best sub surface lures for any fish though are wooly buggers. You will want those in olives and blacks in sizes 8-12. Those things will catch just about anything. Hope that those tips can help you out for next season.
