Fly Fishing for BIG BLUEGILL! (Panfish on the Fly Rod)
Ойын-сауық
Fly fishing can be one of the best techniques for bluegill fishing, especially in the colder months, and early spring when the water is cold and fish are lethargic! Often times they want to eat smaller lures, and flies work well in their place! I caught a bunch of panfish, including crappie, bluegill, and golden shiners (if you consider this panfish lol). Had a blast, and will be doing more fly fishing episodes if you all want to see more! New?

I love em man! Awesome video
I do enjoy pond and stream fishing on fly rod. At 70 my body just doesn't enjoy fishing from a boat on a large lake anymore. But ponds, streams, and small rivers are ideal. In younger days I waded a lot streams but my balance is not the best anymore. So bank fishing is my calling now. I enjoyed watching you. I've seen other of your videos too. I like Bluegill fishing as well but am happy catching any fish. You stay at it and good luck!
My fvorite way to fish for bluegill; when I was stationed at th Navy training command at Dam Neck VA there was a pond i often hit on my way home from work that always produced a mess for dinner.
I like the high-vis flyline, too. If you can't see your fly, at least you can see your line jump when you get a hit. I don't have "trout streams" in my area, so I mostly fly fish for panfish. (Bluegill, crappie, and sometimes small bass, too.) I also like to tie my own flies. NOTHING is more fun than catching fish on flies you tie yourself! Another great advantage of panfish is that they aren't shy amd picky! If you get the fly in front of them, they will hit it!

Try setting the hook by pulling the line instead of lifting up on the rod. The way the hook is orientated on the fly, lifting up tends to put the hook at an angle that wont hook into the fishes mouth before it comes all the way out.

Never caught a blue gill on a nymph, But I’ve had a lot of luck with damsel fly patterns, water boatmen, and some beetle patterns. Using a 2 or 3 weight rod adds to the fun.

Often when I find Golden shiners the Gills are near but a bit deeper.
What if a masive bass or muskey somthing big hit that golden shiner when you where catching it

Might want to try hook sets to the side to improve ratio. Mad River Outfitters has a good video on hook sets w/ Fly rods.

How far do you typically cast out to present the fly when targeting panfish?

Nice video👌 if you keep your rod nose down in the water it'll help with keeping the slack out of your line and you'll set the hook on more fish.

A bit colder up north. Fly fish with a fly bobber because they like the baits small and slow here.

Keep the tip just off the water and you'll get solid hooksets every bite.

Try setting your hook sideways instead of up

Pulling up changes the angle of the hook in the water so strip setting or setting sideways could help! Also if you are In moving water always set the hook downstream if you can
