Andrew,

I can't tell you that most panfish flies work for trout, but I can tell you that white gurgle pops do. It has been my experience that trout flies often work very well to catch panfish. Panfish and trout both eat insects. I have found that flies that look like insects look like food to trout or bluegill.

I understand the excitement for your upcoming trip. I am experiencing the same excitement for my upcoming trip to Colorado.

A near vertical learning curve is the most exciting thing in life!
