Fly Fishing The Spawn For Panfish

Thank you all for watching

[@skidmarkzuckerberg]

Fly fishing is the most fun thing I've gotten into in the last few years. As a lifelong conventional fisherman, I've gotten to the point of fly fishing 98% of the time. It's honestly addictive. Living down in Florida I fish the salt often but on days when I want to get out and just have easy fun, I hit the lakes and look for panfish and bass.

[@scots2129]

I am no fly pro but I am gonna give advice anyway lol. When putting the rod together, feed the fly line through the guides, not the leader. Then when the fly line passes the last guide pull the leader through. It is faster and easier.

[@PhantomJM]

I absolutely love fly fishing for panfish from my kayak. I spent the better part of last year doing it. I can’t wait for the weather to warm up again.

[@stanwright8583]

Try a tapered leader about 7 feet long... 8 to10 pound test. To the end tye on a couple feet of 6# test mono as a tippet. For fly line... defiantly go with a Weight Forward, Floating line. I like a 3 to 5 weight rod for fish up to 3 pounds. YES to using a heavier line than recommended... easier to cast... Try pointing your fly rod right at the fly and "stripping in the line" to give the fly some action. That way you don't have any belly, or slack in your fly line and you can set the hook with a swift strip of the line with your left hand... also, if the fish misses... with a "strip set of the hook" your fly will still be in the same area so the fish can have a second go at it. Great video... you are having fun and that's what it's all about. FISH ON!

[@castqueen9445]

I would love to see more fly fishing and fly fishin for bas!!!

[@BASSNGRASS]

Definitely I plan on doing some more here soon

[@Stardusted]

Good representation of my daydreams, thank you for the video!

[@leannesmith3660]

I know you are going to tell me you aren't very good, but you do that casting so smoothly! Good video, Steve!

[@BASSNGRASS]

Well thank you so much my friend :)

[@stanwright8583]

I was thinking the same thing... nice casting.

[@kitesfishingprimitiv4501]

Hello sir🙏 i like your video sharing fiahing spot fish very good👍 god blass you sir🙏👍

[@caroferg8857]

Your own tied fly And fly fishing. Yep man of many talents. Glad you’re feeling better.
Gotta get my rod out and practice.

[@BASSNGRASS]

Yeah I thought about it and I had to bring it out and see how I do and I actually enjoyed it

[@randyblevins9489]

I've never tried to fly fish or desired to... until now. After watching you catch those with your own hand crafted lure, i was amazed. It's obvious you have done this type of casting for a long time. Enjoyed the video ! Praying that you will feel better soon. Randy. B

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thank you Randy.. Actually I haven’t really done it that much.. It only took me a few weeks to learn the cast.. And I’m not the best at it but I gave him to go :)

[@m.h.english4773]

You have inspired me to try and fly fish in stillwater again. My heart went out to you as soon as you talked about your fly fishing gear getting stolen out of your vehicle. In a preventative step, I took everything of value out of our vehicle precisely for the same reason. It’s really sad that society has gotten to that point. Tight lines. 🙂

[@BASSNGRASS]

Well, I'm glad I inspired you :) gotta get back out there and start fishing :).. yeah it's an unfortunate thing that I wish didn't happen, but it does

[@werftv4580]

panfish LOVE flies.. a size ten baitfish imitation can be an amazing thing...

[@BASSNGRASS]

Definitely going to do more flyfishing In the future

[@stevenhunt933]

I lived on watts bar in tn , my drinkin buddy got me into fly fishin in the mid 80s . Baxk when it was affordable 😉 .
Been doin iy ever since . Tye my own flies . Bluegill are the most fun to fish for , to me

[@YourNextCast]

That looks like so much fun. I still haven't learned the art of fly fishing but I want to so bad. Worth the full view for sure. Always a pleasure to catch your new videos my friend.

[@BASSNGRASS]

You should definitely Should give it a go buddy :)

[@scots2129]

If you have an Orvis in driving distance, they offer free casting classes. My 8 year old son and I both learned there.

[@baboy_3420]

How are you ? 💞🌺 Good video, Have a nice day,
I love watching, thank you for sharing😊😊😊😊

[@BASSNGRASS]

I'm doing good I hope you are as well thank you so much :)

[@billybooth6737]

Thanks for sharing yourfly fishing trip. I am just learning to tie jigs and flies. I love to fly fish for panfish and bass. Great fight on a fly rod. Thanks again for sharing your video.

[@loopbreaka]

Flying fishing is addictive. Cool video. Feeling the Biggie references too.

[@hirambrashier1449]

That’s a fine lookin place to fish!

[@connore.giavasis7385]

I’m officially inspired, I need a fly fishing set up now. 🎣

[@BASSNGRASS]

Go for it buddy :)

[@TennZen77]

Dude, just found your channel. Loving it.

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thank you buddy I appreciate it :)

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Small mouth bass on a fly is epic fun! and those cheap starter 5/6 weights with black bead head woolly bugger is all you need.

[@terrygwilson9628]

Enjoyed your video. You had fun.
I am a 40+ year flyfisherman. Live on the Flint. Now for some you might surely ponder.
If you love flyfishing, you would really really love Tenkara fishing. I’m not kidding either.😅

[@nicktoofar3514]

That gill at 12min... Wowzer what fish

[@FnLn55]

You throw that fly really well - looks like fun - beautiful big bluegill - sub'd earlier today - Steve in Indiana

[@BASSNGRASS]

[@86fishinmachine86]

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thank you :)

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Great fishing day you had!

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thanks buddy

[@ScotchIrishHoundsman]

Awesome video man! Keep it up!

[@WisGuy4]

Why on earth do people who complain about the scarcity of fish in our lakes target spawning fish on their beds??? It’s bad enough to interfere with the reproduction cycle when you are fishing catch and release, but when you’re keeping the largest, most mature fish to eat, you are depleting the gene pool of bigger fish and removing from the reproduction cycle those that are best able to take care of their eggs and fry.
Since not all fish spawn at the same time, there always should be some type of fish available to catch that you are not pulling away from their spawning beds. Catch those and let other fish varieties reproduce in peace if you want to see healthy numbers of fish in our waters. Stop thinking, like an industrial manager, who cares only for that quarter’s short-term profits, to hell with pollution and the environment. Instead, start thinking ahead to preserving, our waters for decades and generations further down the road. We are already facing a difficult enough time with global warming, let’s not shoot ourselves in the proverbial foot.
Otherwise, it was a good video, and certainly has got me itching to try out my new flyrod I bought off eBay, which, incidentally, is also a TFO rod.

[@ashleyevans3330]

You are very entertaining!!!

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thank you :)

[@crappiejosh]

Great video man I absolutely love fly fishing for pan fish. fly rods aren't just for trout

[@texansnstros]

Loved the video. Time to get a fly rod 🤙😎

[@curtisbrenton1509]

Just bought a fly combo. Anything you ca teach would be awesome

[@TheTruth-ge7fj]

i fly fish and is so fun, if i want to go deeper water put split shot foot or foot half above fly and catch deeper water fish or even flys that already have jigs on them to go way deeper.

[@greatoutdoors3931]

Great video glad you’re doing well…. Catch and cook soon? I personally don’t think I could use a fly rod but I live it through you lol

[@BASSNGRASS]

It definitely is frustrating but a lot of fun

[@jeramyh9344]

Wow, that same thing happened to me last spring. Someone broke into my truck and stole my entire Hiking pack that was loaded up with almost all of my fishing gear for a planned mountain fishing trip. I am just finally get back into it. 😢

[@rvfishingyet]

I have never targeted bass on a fly rod. Very curious how you put that together. Thanks for the video

[@BASSNGRASS]

Thank you buddy

[@email16v]

Love that you're fly fishing! My favorite fishing!

[@hatch3226]

Six minutes later, we’re fishing

[@a-aron3085]

The rig you mentioned early in the video is called a dry dropper. In case anyone wants to look it up/try it.

[@joshhowk7567]

This inspired me to get into fly fishing. Anyone have some suggestions on a cost effective fly rod and reel outfit?

[@calypsonotch3953]

I'm big into fishing but never fly fished. is there a reason you pull the fish in over just using the reel to reel them in?

[@BASSNGRASS]

It just makes it a lot easier to be honest with that kind of real

[@brianmcgrath7761]

What Lake are you fishing

[@BASSNGRASS]

Parksville lake

[@alsmith5526]

Where are you may I ask?

[@BASSNGRASS]

Parksville Lake

[@duanepinkston2983]

over weighting the fly rod slows the action down
