Fly fishing is fairly popular for bluegill and sunfish. These small panfish are what most fly fishermen target when they are first learning how to fly fish. The nice thing about learning how to fly fish at a nearby pond is that you will usually have plenty of room to cast, you will get plenty of bites and the fish that you miss aren’t going to cause you to lose any sleep. Bluegill and other sunfish in the 6 to 8 inch range can be caught in most ponds.
