There are many type's of panfish, but to name a few, pumpkinseed, black/white crappie, bluegill and various sunfishes. These fish often feed on other small fish, bugs, and leeches. To start you out, a 3 wt. rod is good, just because bluegill are often heavy for their length and they fight pretty hard. A three weight reel with WF-F (Weight Forward-Floating). Some flies that will be good are #8-12 Clouser minnows and Swimming Nymphs. Scud Patterns are often good but a family of flies that are my favorite are the buggers. There are Woolley Buggers, Jig-Head Buggers and many more. Small surface poppers are also good.
Lakes that you will want to fish are shallow, warm water lakes with large quantities of panfish and bass.
Because panfishing isn't too complicated, I won't be making a follow-up post to this.
