Thread: 1/64 panfish jigs

Those will definitely be in the panfish mouths soon and then the panfish will be in your mouth! Very nice ties.

I started tying large trout flies this winter. I'm near a popular river that has great brown trout fishing along with rainbow/steelhead and salmon. I decided to try some size 10-12 dry flies and figured I could move into panfish sized flies and jigs, especially since that is my fishing passion. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I guess at nearly 68 years old it isn't too late to try new things.

If you haven’t already been told or found it on your own, Fly Anglers On Line has loads of info on technique and so on , also known as FAOL. I’d put one on under a float. Patience isn’t one of my strong points, though I do have my moments, so when the water opened up enough I would be there.

I fished something similar last year at ice out under a bobber with a scent stick and slab sauce under a bobber and did well. Hoping to try that again soon. Ice storm tonight will delay those plans.

Nice ties. Fish dinner in your future using those.

I'll be 72 this year and still learning from those who know much more than I about our great crappie and trout fishing, even those who are much younger than I.

I am about 3 years from 80 and still learning from all of you too.

I haven’t thought about FAOL in a long time, skeet. They use to have a fly of the week and an incredible library of flies to tie. Most only 7 steps or less. I literally have several hundred on a disc - more than a lifetime supply to try. Every one of them worked in warm water stream fishing. Well worth checking out.
