Description
If I could only carry five flies for panfish, these would be the ones.
I wasn't trying to build a fly box that matched every hatch or covered every possible situation. Instead, I wanted five flies that fit my philosophy of panfish fishing:
• Simple to tie
• Durable enough to survive dozens of fish
• Versatile enough to fish almost anywhere
• And most importantly... fun to fish.
