A year or two ago I asked for information about fly fishing sunnies.
I think Ingwe responded and maybe a few others.
I already had a 7 weight rod, but wanted something lighter. I bought a 5 weight rod and a few little poppers.
I have access to a nice little lake with lots of panfish and have to say I havnt had this much fun fishing in quite awhile. I love to see the fish come up and literally gulp in the fly. Some in the evenings I can hear them feeding from quite a ways away.
I leave my fly rod on my pontoon boat and I can go out and fish for a half hour or so almost whenever I want. What a hoot when a big bluegill comes up and hits the fly with a gulp and a bid swirl!
I have been using a yellow and black popper that looks like a yellow jacket. Actually, not much paint left on it.
My casting technique leaves a lot to be desired and I have more knots in my leader than I care to count, but it’s coming along. And I love it!
I have some photos but not sure how to post them anymore.
