Baby Bluegill Streamers for Big Panfish!

May 27, 2020 Panfish On The Fly
Big panfish cannot resist the Baby Bluegill Streamer!

Big panfish cannot resist the Baby Bluegill Streamer!

Every year when spring rolls around, a ritual repeats itself underwater on lakes and ponds everywhere. Big male bluegills emerge from the depths and enter the shallows. They are fish on a mission, and that mission is to build a nest, attract a mate and defend that nest, and it's young to the bitter end.

A classic panfish fly with an unusual name - Tom Nixon's .56%er

May 19, 2020 Panfish On The Fly
Tom Nixon’s .56%er may have an unusual name but the fish don’t seem to care!

Tom Nixon’s .56%er may have an unusual name but the fish don’t seem to care!

I recently reread Tom Nixon's Fly Tying and Fly Fishing for Bass and Panfish. I remember taking this book out from the library when I was a boy in the 1970s. I was just getting interested in fly tying, and this was one of the first books I attempted to read on the subject. I say "attempted" because, like most fly tying books of that era, they contained vague instructions and horrible line drawings that were supposed to clarify the techniques described. I returned the book with a sense of being more confused than ever. Fast forward to the present day with forty years of fly tying looking at me in the rearview mirror; I breezed through the book in a couple of evenings. What mystified the ten-year-old boy made perfect sense to me now.

The Hareline Dubbin Material Clamp

April 6, 2020 Panfish On The Fly
The new clamp from Hareline Dubbin comes in a set of two for easy material manipulation.

The new clamp from Hareline Dubbin comes in a set of two for easy material manipulation.

The new material clamp from Hareline Dubbin popped up on my radar a few weeks back. I was instantly intrigued by the design of these new clamps. I am a big fan of dubbing loops and use them in my fly tying a lot. In the early days, I struggled to make homemade clamps out of repurposed stationary clips.

Fly Tying Friday - Create Perfect Poppers For Panfish!

March 27, 2020 Panfish On The Fly
Waspi Perfect Popper Kits allow you to easily make great looking poppers!

Waspi Perfect Popper Kits allow you to easily make great looking poppers!

This morning I tied up a mess of tiny poppers for panfish in anticipation of warmer weather to come. These little poppers are perfect early season offerings when the fish start looking up. I create popper bodies out of a variety of materials, including foam, cork, balsa wood, and hard plastic. All of the materials mentioned are great options for making panfish bugs, but for the tiny poppers, I like hard-bodied foam.
