Our Story

Panfish On The Fly was created to shine a light on one of fly fishing’s most overlooked opportunities—panfish and other warmwater species that are abundant, accessible, and incredibly fun to catch on the fly. Too often, fly fishing content focuses exclusively on trout, leaving many anglers unaware of the excellent fishing available close to home. The site was built to help anglers discover just how rewarding warmwater fly fishing can be.

The goal of the website is simple: help anglers catch more fish and enjoy the process along the way. Through fly-tying instruction, pattern recommendations, fishing tips, and educational resources, the site gives both beginners and experienced anglers practical information they can use immediately on their local waters.

Panfish On The Fly also celebrates the creative side of fly fishing—the enjoyment of tying your own flies, experimenting with new patterns, and sharing knowledge within the angling community. By making fly fishing more welcoming and approachable, the site encourages more people to pick up a fly rod and experience the simple pleasure of catching fish on flies they tied themselves.

The Panfish On The Fly Shop is a full-service online fly shop. We are not a “review site”, 100% of our funding comes from your purchases! If you like the content found on the pages of this website, please consider showing your support by making your next fly fishing/fly tying purchase from us!
