Sometimes you just want to relax and not have to worry about too much, and panfish are amazing for this. A 3 weight rod makes it extremely worthwhile. It is also the best way to introduce your kids to fly fishing, because you're almost guaranteed to get at least a few bluegill using some small poppers and whatnot along the shoreline. First time fly fishing with my 4 year old, he was able to reel in 5 bluegill in 20 minutes, and even though he needed me to do the casting for him, he enjoyed this way more than when we went another time to a small trout stream and got bit by a million mosquitoes over a period of an hour and caught zero fish.

Thank you soo much for doing this video! I live In Southern New Jersey and about 80% of my fly, fishing is small, pine barrens ponds for large mouth and panfish. I would like to add for everybody out there in a similar situation, I live about an hour and a 1/2 from true, good trout water. If you like to tie flies, especially for trout fishing, 90% of trout flies are super effective on panfish. I've caught them on parachute Adam's, Griffith's gnat, Purple haze, bead head princes. And my most effective is a small stimulator pattern with rubber legs. Another very easy to tie, very cheap to tie. But super effective panfish fly is the triangle bug. By the way, my personal panfishrod is the Orvis super fine glass 2 weight as well as a Reddington butterstick 4wt. So it was nice to see you using an SFG for this.

Bluegill on a fly rod is seriously underrated! When I first got into fly fishing, this was an excellent training tool to learn how to hook set and manage the line tension when a fish is on. Plus, bluegill will hit literally anything so getting skunked is rare!

Would you consider, or have you done, a vid on how to cast far ie 70-80 feet for the flats? I find both shooting a short-belly line and keeping a long belly in the air awkward. Your vid on the double haul is excellent.
