I have never fly fished before and am wanting to learn, I live in an area where there are mainly panfish, bass and catfish. I think I found some good equipment:

but it is expensive and I am worried that it’s a bit big for smaller panfish and I am wondering if there are better things.

Great outfit! But $495 is a LOT of money unless you’re a very experienced fly-fisherman and LOVE the sport. A good fly rod weight for smaller bass & bluegill would be a 4wt or 5wt fly rod. A very nice, cheap fly rod/reel combo for a beginner would be the White River Fly Shop® Hobbs Creek™ Fly Outfits which retail for about $120.

The HC1R 5wt which is currently IN STOCK, would be a good choice. You could also back order the 4wt version which might do better for smaller fish.
