I am calling this thread the sunny grand slam but I'm sure some of you guys will be calling it "muskie bait". :-D However you look at it that's ok. These little guys don't get a whole lot of credit but they do serve as an important food source for some of the larger WW species. I really enjoy catching the various species of sunfish at times while I am primarily targeting these other species. They are always cooperative in taking almost anything presented to them. They are a great way to get some of those young upcoming anglers in your life interested in flyfishing. I have always enjoyed the variation in species and the different color patterns on some of these fish at different times of the year. I'm certain some of them that we catch are probably hybrids but here are a some pictures of four of our common PA sunfish. Hope you enjoy the pictures or maybe you can use them as color models for your some of your muskie flies.
