The 5 Panfish Flies I'd Fish for the Rest of My Life

No comments yet

If I could only carry five flies for panfish, these would be the ones.

I wasn't trying to build a fly box that matched every hatch or covered every possible situation. Instead, I wanted five flies that fit my philosophy of panfish fishing:
• Simple to tie
• Durable enough to survive dozens of fish
• Versatile enough to fish almost anywhere
• And most importantly... fun to fish.

From bluegill and shellcracker to crappie and even the occasional bass, these are the flies I'd confidently take anywhere.

Since you got this far …

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
