Micro Fishing

Had fun the other day fishing for little Bluegill and Sunfish using midge patterns and nymphs with the Micro Fly Rod.

Had only a short amount of time to fish after work today. No problems, able to cruise along on the standup longboard, make it to the local pond, and catch a fish or two with the Micro Fly Rod! Fun times… even got to practice casting the variant of the Perry Poke we like using… [read more]

Variant of the Simple Tenkara Fly that we wrote an article about. This one uses pink tying thread, a size 12 streamer hook, white saddle hackle, and UV Glue. Does not take long to tie, is effective on Bluegill and Trout, and uses minimal material. Do give it a try!

Short on time but able to get a round in fly fishing at Celebration Park with the Micro Fly Rod! Mainly Sunfish and Bluegill on the Marilyn Monroe Tenkara Fly… Fun stuff!

Had a little time today to break away from the “salt mines”. Had the Wine Cork Micro Fly Rod handy in the car and hit a nearby pond – been some time since we fished the pond by Cinemark in Allen. Last time we tried to fish it, it was dry from the drought. Before that,… [read more]

Having a little fun earlier this week catching little Bluegill and Sunfish on the 2-Weight Fly Rod at Bethany Lakes. Used a Near Deere to get the first fish in the Canal, then switched to Size 22 Midge to get the rest at the Waterfall. Lots of fun getting out during the week even for… [read more]

Fished several places Sunday for Rainbow Trout and struck out. Getting ready to call it a day, but decided it was too nice a day to stay indoors. On a whim, dusted off the Micro Fly Rods and went fishing for some “mini-Bruisers”. After changing fishing flies several times, found the pattern and the right… [read more]
