    Default Got ‘em on the fly.


    Got into some nice shellcrackers and Gills a week ago Friday.
    4wt glass fly rod and Woolly Buggers, Pink Bugger late day and Orange & Chartreuse in the morning did the trick. Kept 6 for the table.

    Oh yeah, had to put them on the reel and use the drag with the bigger ones. Definitely has me addicted to panfish on the fly.

    That's how I catch them for striper bait only with a sponge spider.

    Some nice fish Nathan. I also love the buggy whip but hate the trees I always seem to find. Even better when a surprise fish takes a bite of your little offering. A 4wt is perfect for them. I landed a 5+ largemouth years back on a betts popper, and the rod was junk but all,I had at the time. So much fun and quite a challenge.

    Been doing good with the fly rod on bluegills but catching chinquapin (shell crackers) on fly rod is a rarity for me.
