Pan Fish Flies

I joined a local rod and gun club that has a pond stocked with bass and sunnies.
What would be a few good flies to tie to catch some sunnies with my grandkids?
Thanks

I don’t know how easy these are to tie but they are some of my favorite to use with my kids since they float so well and are easy to see. You can’t beat top water action in my opinion!

foam spiders and small buggers

Tie up a big elk hair caddis.
Floats well and easy to tie (dubbing and deer/elk hair). No need for bells and whistles for panfish.

Yes, but for me it's tie up some elk hair caddis. Go trout fishing. Take all used flies to the pond later.

Agree 100%!

Many 'gill patterns that I have tied have a couple things in common - foam, rubber/silicone leg material, bead chain, and chenille.
Here are some:

Bluegill Bomber

Taylor Bluegill Spider

Bully's Bluegill Spider - a favorite!

The Gill Getter

Bluegill Candy - simple tie and deadly!

Bluegill Belly Bean

Gurgle Pop

If you are looking for big 'gills tie in size 6, for action tie in size 8-10.

Hope you all have fun!

Thanks guys for all the different flies to try. There are a lot of good patterns here to keep me busy this winter.
