sunfish dry flies for fly fishing?

[Big Julie]

Anyone know any good fly patterns to try for spring time sunfish?

My experience with Sunfish is any thing that floats is good. I prefer black deer hair beetle with orange or white back. Those small foam beetles/ants/spider with the white rubber legs also are good for the pannies.

Tie up some lil foam spiders/ants with some rubber legs. Its an easy tie and the panfish love em.

That sound like a kiler presentation.

Do you have any pics plus where do you buy materials?

Thanks for the advice folks. I saw a guy last year catching more and bgger sunnies than everyone else around, but couldn't see what he was using.

Will try some patterns mentioned.

I dont have any pics right now. But if you head over to cabelas you can talk to them and buy a couple of foam ants and just copy them. Very simple pattern and they will have all the tying materials you'd need. Or any fly shop will have what you need.

Look up dervish. It's a wet fly that works great.

I used it for the first time on Sat.

We caught and released many 11 inchers. WEll over 20 (11) inchers.

I got pictures of one 12 incher I released.

In my experience, a sunfish will hit almost any fly you can throw them within reason.
