Reddit mentions of Flies for Bass and Panfish

generally, i dont keep track of anything to be honest. I don't mean to divert here but it just sounds like you're looking for something to do. Sounds like you have a bit of cabin fever sir!

How about take a good look at your tackle and try to decypher exactly why or how a lure works. The next step is start making your own tackle! That's what I do. I've started tying flies and taking those characteristics i've learned from lures I love fishing with and applying it to new lures.

I picked up a book recently at a fishing flea market in town here. One thing that always bothered me in the summertime was that I always saw bass and such snapping at the surface for dragon flies. Taking a look through that book gave me ideas at making some dragon fly lures. If you're into panfish this book is great too. Don't underestimate jigs or spinner jigs. You can tie them up with fly tools too and they are fun. I'm about to head out to work now but if you want I'll post some pics of some things I made this winter.

Sounds like you're into bass fishing and if you're looking for more "hard lures" you can check out making them too. I shop at janns netcraft for a lot of my lure making stuff but you can find a lot of good deals at ebay stores. I usually get jigs and such off ebay in bulk packages, because i can use them with soft lures too. Always useful.
