I was getting into fly fishing when I found out about Postfly. I do n't have a fly shop nearby and this has been a super fun way to learn about flies and build a collection. Takes all the intimidation out of fly fishing, highly recommended.

If you dont catch fish on Joe's, theyre not biting!!! I took a 21 inch large mouth on a Joe's first cast after hitting the waters with the standard bass lures... In fact wife and I both started using them with great results.... These are our goto lures on new water bodies with unknown specimens. Nailed a 14. 5 inch black crappie on them the following week... Be warned, withthe two hook combo you might want to use some tools to retrieve your fly cause theyre sharp and wont let go!!

I keep a Short Striker on a 5ft. microspinner all the time so I can just grab it and go when I get some unexpected fishing time. They 're not even listed as one of the lure's targets, but I caught three small bullheads right in a row on nice, slow retrieves tonight.

I have used these before and they are a great idea! they stay at the top of the water column and can be retrieved very slow and still spin. I have purchased multiple colors and weights from joe's flies and I 'm certainly impressed

These things catch trout and panfish. They mKe bigger ones for bass also. They have stinger trebble hooks that act like a grappler hook locking your fish in place with the single hook. This is great for short striking fish esp timid panfish or cold weather trout.

Vault13
Went out trout fishing and they were ONLY biting on THESE lures! I went through at least a dozen different lures/bait without a single nibble before stringing one of these up. After that, all I used were these lures and caught all day long! I clipped an 1/8oz split shot on the lure right above the blade( making sure that the blade could still spin freely) to give me better casting distance with my spinning rod and it was just the right distance at just the right depth. I used a slow to medium retrieve method with nothing fancy and the result was amazing! There were several times in a row that I did n't reel in without a fish at the end of my line! Put these in your tackle box, you wo n't be disappointed!

Bernhard B
This is a very nice set. I 'm comparing this to my Or is Clearwater and it's holding up well. The rod is similar in characteristics. It feels a little less sensitive but acceptable. The finish is matte and really nice looking. The price shows in small details. The pieces are not marked for fit and the openings are not sealed. Neither point is really an issue. The cork handle seems a bit soft and maybe a tad lower quality than the orvis. I think this could become an issue over time and extended use. The reel seems fine. Not as smooth as my orvis either but overall very close. Very happy with it. The weak point in my opinion is the line. While I 'm no expert, it does n't feel quite as good. It's definitely functional but does n't have an end loop for easy threading of the leader. That also makes it a bit rough to thread through the rod sometimes. Anyway, of course there's a reason for the price but at that price I recommend this set. On our first outing, my son caught 5(!) Really nice trout vs my 2 on the Orvis. Obviously that's more due to the flies he was using and his skills:-) but it shows that this set works well. All the other bells and whistles are not necessary needed. It may come down to durability in the end.

I ’ ve been wearing these all summer. They are so comfortable and flattering. I bought the purple in a large and the green in a medium.

When targeting panfish, it's essential to use flies that mimic their natural prey. Popular choices include small poppers, nymphs, and wet flies that resemble insects and small baitfish. The size and color of the flies can vary based on the specific species of panfish and the water conditions, so experimenting with different patterns can yield better results.
Panfish are typically most active during the warmer months, especially in spring and summer when they are spawning. Early mornings and late afternoons are often the best times to fish, as panfish tend to be closer to the surface during these times. However, conditions can vary based on local climate and water temperature, so it's beneficial to check local fishing reports.
For panfish fly fishing, a lightweight fly rod and reel combo is ideal, as it allows for better control and sensitivity. A floating line is commonly used, along with a selection of small flies suited for panfish. Additionally, having a good pair of polarized sunglasses can help you see into the water better and spot fish.
When selecting a location for panfish fly fishing, look for areas with plenty of cover, such as submerged vegetation, fallen trees, or docks. Panfish often congregate in these spots as they provide shelter and food. Additionally, shallow waters near the shore or around structures can be productive, especially during their spawning season.
Effective techniques for panfish fly fishing include casting near structures and allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. Using a slow retrieve can entice panfish to strike, especially when using poppers or nymphs. Additionally, varying your retrieve speed and incorporating pauses can make your presentation more enticing.
