I take my 2 weight to Canyon Lake to chase bluegill. This is a quick video with lots of fish catching action! Thank you for watching and please SUBSCRIBE to our channel for future adventures!
I love catching panfish on a fly. I've caught bluegill, crappie, and even some little bass on fly. The only fly outfit I have together right now is a cheap Pfleuger 5-6wt kit I got from Dick's years ago, but I was recently gifted a nice, lightly used Wright & McGill 3wt flyrod. I'm getting a new reel, line, etc for it for Christmas. Can't WAIT til the spring! I also hope to target some yellow/white perch on a fly next year. Best thing about this kind of fishing is you NEVER know what you may hook. The pond I fish on my lunch break from work has gills, crappie, largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and carp. Only thing that gets pretty gif in this pond is the carp, but it keeps me in fly casting practice.
The bluegill were hitting very aggressively this day so I didn't have a need for an indicator. Most days I will I use a larger dry fly as an indicator for gills as it may double your catching chances. Thank you for watching!
