Bart Lombardo is a panfish fanatic and loves chasing them with a fly rod. Although he considers himself a fan of all fish species, bluegills, crappies, perch, and other panfish are his forte. He is the creator of Panfish on the Fly, a website and Facebook group where thousands of people come together to share their love of these fish. In this episode, we cover a wide range of topics, including which species are considered panfish, where they’re found, seasonal changes in their behavior, fly selection, catching big ones, the differences between species, and gear.    Website: www.panfishonthefly.com Email: info@panfishonthefly.com Facebook:  Panfish On The Fly &amp; The Panfish On The Fly Group (10k members) Instagram: @panfish_on_the_fly Twitter: @panfishonthefly Pinterest: @PanfishOnTheFly Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 42: Fly Fishing for Panfish, with Bart Lombardo

Panfish are the way many of us relieve the frustration of snotty trout, spooky carp, or saltwater fish that can't be reached because of bad weather. They're always on the prowl for a snack and seldom very fussy. But you do need to know where to find them, and for the larger specimens a little finesse is often in order. So this week I talk to Bart Lombardo, panfish aficionado and guru. We concentrate on the sunfish family. Although many smaller freshwater fish fit into the panfish category, sunfish are the most abundant and widely distributed. I think you find some great tips for maximizing your fun with these feisty little guys. In the Fly Box, here are some of the questions and tips we cover: Is there one rod I can use for both tightline (Euro) nymphing and dry flies? I found out why my knots were breaking on tippet rings! Rattles for redfish When you might want tapered leaders for bass What is the difference between freshwater and saltwater fly lines, and the difference between coldwater and warmwater lines? What lines do I need for coastal fishing in the Northeast? Do I need to take special care when wearing wading boots on my inflatable SUP? What do you eat to keep going during a full day of fishing? Can I imitate both Hendricksons and March Browns with one fly pattern? Can I use my 6-weight Clearwater rod for stocked trout? What does good carp water look like?
