Fly Tying a Panfish Polecat with Jim Misiura

Here is a very effective Panfish fly.

[@dinoconsabor]

Another great and straight-forward recipe. I like the techniques of layering the black chenille over the yellow and tying on the legs.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Thanks good luck with them!

[@StormLaker]

I think I used to tie this one years ago, only the variation I did, I used the yellow body like you did in the video, but I would use a "peacock" estaz chenille material on the back, and a touch of Krystal Flash in the tail. The fun part about fly tying is that there really is no "wrong" way to make a fly, you just adjust it to what works for you. Thanks for demonstrating this one, I totally forgot how effective it was on our local bluegills, and even a bass or two fell to it's charm:-)

Great fly! have to try it on some local sunfish to see how it works. Thanks Jim for all your sharing!

[@joeduca8582]

Great simple pattern. Like a Montana nymph but better imho. Like the lead holding technique too. Always learn from you Jim, thanks! 👍😎

[@TheFlymanJim]

[@cowboyup1251]

I make a fly almost like that cool ... don t us the legs but black hen tied behind the head and tied to lay down cool !! I have not made one in years !!

[@dmm3124]

I will tie some, today. Would this work on white bass? And clothespins are good for keeping the back legs out of the way.

[@TheFlymanJim]

They will work on white bass and any warm water fish.

[@johnmeyer6197]

I was watching your video and all of sudden it quit playing video and went to the advertising. This sucks for you tube.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Sorry it is what pays the bills. I get only a very small part of it.

[@bc46488]

IT WOULD TEAR UP THE BLUEGILLS!

[@johnmeyer6197]

This sucks when the video quits playing and the ad. I will not listen to anymore videos by you.

[@TheFlymanJim]

Sorry about that.
