Another Round with the Micro Fly Rod (Feb 8, 2015)

After limiting out on Trout, decided to have another go with the Micro Fly Rod. Changed the fly line by using less backing line and more fly line. No knot to hang up on the rod guides, so I was able to get more distance on the cast.

Caught two little Bluegill and one Bass on a Soft Hackle at Frisco Commons Pond. Then, took a break to get hydrated again. Sun came out in force today; even think the temps hit above 70 degrees. Much different than last years freezing conditions at this time.

Later in the afternoon, fished the Feeder Creek at Bethany Lakes, Soft hackle had a few strikes but no hook ups. Switched to a Red Midge in Size 22 and hooked several soon after. Then, noticed  fish feeding on something on the surface. So, switched to a Size 22 BWO and ended up catching several more.

So far, have been pleasantly surprised with the casting capability of the little rod. The cast is different compared to standard size fly rods; the back cast straightens quickly, so the forward cast is started much sooner than I am used to.

No worries... got the hang of it and was able to get a few "long" casts in to where the fish were lurking. Fun stuff!

Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge

Late start today; no trout fishing but did get a chance to catch several little Bluegill/Sunfish using a Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge. Here is a picture of the Tiny Midge used... Fun stuff!

Bluegill at Lunch!

Took a break at Lunch today and fished the feeder creek at Bethany. Caught a couple of Bluegill.  One really small one and one that went about 6" in size!  Both struck an Olive Wooley Bugger.



PS:  Went back to Bethany in the early evening.  Caught several small Bluegill in the Canal.  Used the Tenkara Rod and an Antron Nymph.  No Bruisers; still had fun catching them.  Was planning to make a short video clip to post but mistakenly deleted the video while transferring to the laptop.
