Panfish Experiments
Experiments for panfish since I don't have ready access to trout. Maybe a bass will be interested too. Three streamer variations with blue tinsel bodies and dear hair wings on Mustad C53S #8. I had noticed the fish were hitting similar dark wets if they were deep enough. I had received a similar fly in SOTM but lost it to a tree. One has some red seal dubbing and black hackle.
Three variations in white on vintage Mustad #4 offset hooks. I noticed the bluegill were ignoring yellows and greens but, would hit white. I am going to try these out on some retention pond green sunfish. I'm hoping the larger hooks will keep the little guys off and draw the larger ones.
I will provide updates as the experiment continues. Comments, suggestions welcome. (Yes I did crowd the head on some of them...)
