I just received a fly rod combo for my 40th bday. Have been out twice with it. Once to a spot on Elkhorn where I caught some nice bluegill. Next was a spot on Hickman creek where I hook a small pumkinseed, but it got off. The only flies I have are some poppers that came with my rod and reel.
I will mainly be fishing for panfish and smallies. So I was wondering what other types of flies should I look into purchasing to use as well. Will probably be fishing Hickman Creek, Elkhorn and maybe some small farm ponds and lakes.
