Thread: Books about Bluegills/panfish

In-Fisherman probably has one, since they have books on everything.

Off the top of my head, though, the only ones I can think of are fly fishing books:

https://www.amazon.com/Bluegill-Fish...ks%2C89&sr=1-3

https://www.amazon.com/Sunfishes-Jac...ks%2C93&sr=1-4

Both are good, but I prefer the second. I bet I've read it ten times.

First off, welcome from Central Florida. Looking forward to your posts, and please ask anything you please. We’ve all asked most of the dumb ones already so they’re out of the way.

I remember in fisherman had some books printed that were thought well of. Maybe you could find some of those.

Bill Dance put out a book on Crappie fishing . I still have it somewhere around here .
There’s a few on Amazon . I have the one about panfish and Bass flies .
A lot more videos out there now days than they are books .

Powerbait, welcome to CDC!

That’s the truth, gill, and it’s a shame because so many of the books have detailed info just not available in a video. I have to agree with DB4D that most of the good ones are fly fish oriented, but the water reading, presentation techniques and even the flies can be easily transferred to U/L. Jigs and float and fly presentations work just as well using the small jigs. I would bet my fishing collection is most likely 20+ years old and way out of print.
