Does anyone know where you can buy panfish?

My boyfriend wants to buy panfish (bluegill, perch, crappie, etc) for keeping in a "fishtank" or a pond type thing. Does anyone know were you can do this? We tried searching online, but came up empty handed. I'd appreciate the help! Thanks.

you might have to find a pond and get your own......

when I was a kid, we used to go fishing in the fall and throw panfish in our pool to help keep it clean over the winter......they did really well.....and were all still alive every spring.

Dry flies are used to mimic adult insects, so before you fish a trout stream, make sure you have an understanding of what fish normally feed on before deciding to use dry flies. Once you have determined that they will be a natural choice for a particular trout stream, you can apply paste dressing to your flies to allow them to float high on the water. They imitate a wide range of foods, including adult mayflies, caddisflies, midges, grasshoppers, crickets, ants and many others.

The magic of seeing a trout, bass or panfish take a dry fly floating on the surface of the water is one of the greatest sights in fly fishing. Dry flies offer several advantages over wet flies when fly fishing. This is a controversial subject and in a gathering of a dozen fly fishermen, you might have 12 opinions.

Dry flies are made to mimic the final stage of an insect's life. Wet flies are used underwater to imitate minnows, caterpillars, and grubs. Dry flies must have the correct silhouette and be the correct size and float in the right manner.

Fishing with a dry fly attraction pattern is most often taken on during periods when there is little or no surface activity to warrant our attention and allow use of the imitative flies. There are few cases where attractors will work. They could even be as effective as or more effective than the flies that we believe are highly imitative.

Most fly fishermen preferred dry flies for rivers and were not interested in anything else. Some used nymphs, wet flies, cone head leach patterns, dry flies and streamers. Nymphs such as the pheasant tails, gold ribbed hare's ears and halfbacks could be worked in the surface film or add a small split shot and work with them deeper along the weed edges for a great deal of action.

Nymphs are actually the stage right after the buzzer just before the fly hatches. They work well all year long and are excellent when fished deep in the colder months. To get the best result use short fast strips retrieve. Nymphs are made to simulate aquatic insects that have yet to appear as adults. They are still in the underwater cycle of life not yet having reached the adult stage.

Learn fly fishing basics that are necessary to learn how to fly fish. It is not hard, it is just different. Once you are able to master the basics you could fish anytime you choose and catch the fish.
