A Stick, Line, and Fly This Round!

Went simple this afternoon after having fished the morning with a Four Weight Fly Rod. Decided to fish using a Tenkara Rod.  Been some time since we used it; good to see that it still can hold it's own when fishing a pond!  Caught several Bluegill; used a Foam Grasshopper and a Balsa Popper Fly.  Fun stuff!

A Stick, Line, and a Fly This Round!

Went with a simple set up this round. Fished a Tenkara Rod and a Guadalupana and worked the banks and shallows.  Caught 22 Bluegill, Sunfish, and even some Shellcracker/Sunfish Hybrids.  Fun stuff using a "stick, line, and a fly"!

Fishing with a "Stick, Line, and Fly"

Decided to try the Tenkara Rod out yesterday before the cool front arrived.  Fished the Feeder Creek and the Back Pond using a Grasshopper Variant.  Caught some Scrappy Bass and Bluegill.  All close to the bank.  Fun stuff!

Able to Wet a Line... Opted for the Tenkara Rod!

Been a tough week for the Team to get away and fish.  Did make it this morning to Bethany.  Brought the Tenkara Rod and fished with a Purple Grasshopper Variant; caught about 12 Bluegill and Sunfish.  Then, switched to a Bully's Bluegill Spider and caught more.  Then, ended the outing with a Shellcracker that went for a Elk Hair Caddis!  Fun stuff!

More Little Bluegill!

More little Bluegill caught using the Tenkara Rod.  Little feeder creek with clear water and very shallow, made for some fun action using an Unweighted Antron Nymph!

Dusted Off the Tenkara Rod

Went to Plano East Senior High School's pond yesterday and caught a number of fish using fly fishing gear.  Went back today with the Tenkara Rod.  Had a lot of fun catching them despite the windy conditions!


Been awhile since we used the Tenkara Rod.  Had a Reader ask about it.  Sounded like a good idea, especially when the fish were lurking so close to the bank.  Most fish were caught within 5' of the bank.

Bass In Their Beds at Bethany Lakes

Fished Bethany using the Tenkara Rod again.  Caught a number of Bass and lost a lot more.  Did lose a Bruiser on a break off.  Bass are in the shallows and are protecting their beds. Caught most on a Damsel Fly worked slowly along the bottom.  Switched to a Fly Rod later and caught more on a Damsel Fly and then had two take a Caddis Fly!

Tenkara Rod and a White Wooley Bugger Get a Few Fish This Round!

Fished with the Tenkara Rod at Bethany Lakes this evening.  Managed to catch six little Bass, a Sunfish, and a Bluegill. All were caught on a White Wooley Bugger!  Fun stuff using simple gear; even better when there is only enough time for a quick trip this round!

Warmer Temps and Bluegill/Sunfish are Nesting, Great Time Catching Them on the Tenkara Rod!

Warmer temps made for a comfortable outing at Bethany Lakes.  Observed Bluegill/Sunfish nesting in the shallows.  Brought the Tenkara Rod and a White Foam Spider.  Good news... surface action was happening!  Had a great time catching (and releasing the scrappy fighters).  Caught 24 fish, two were little Bass.  Else it was Bluegill and Sunfish!

Checked out the Lower Pond; Caught Little Bass mainly!

Went back out to Bethany Lakes with the Tenkara Rod.  Had a great time catching little Bass and a little Crappie from the Lower Pond.  Damsel Fly continued to produce.  Good to see that Pond is coming back from last year's cleanup work!  Here is a short video of the action.

12 Bass and 2 Bluegill Taken On Damsel Flies and Tenkara Rod!

Could not let yesterday's Goldfish on a Tenkara Rod go unanswered.  Went to the local catch and release pond that we hit last week and braved the winds!  It was tough fishing but managed to work the fishing flies near the surface and maintain a steady retrieve with the Tenkara Rod.  Ended the outing with twelve Bass and two Bluegill caught and released. Short video clip posted below.

Tenkara Fishing at Kroger Park, Yields a Few Bass and Lots of Bluegill!

Took the Tenkara Rod out to Kroger Park yesterday.  Caught a few Bass (no Bruisers) and lots of Bluegill.  Quit counting after 25,... no worries, all were caught and released!  Was a tough go at first with a lot of missed hooksets but finally started hooking up a consistently using a Size 14 Wooley Bugger (Unweighted).

Back to Bethany with the Tenkara Rod.

Windy day made it tough, also short on time,... so went with the minimalist approach and brought the Tenkara Rod and Deer Hair Bug to try for the Bass.  But, lost it soon after fishing to a snag.  Switched to an Olive Wooley Bugger and hooked and lost a decent Bass.  Went to the Waterfall and finished out the trip catching a fingerling Bass and little Sunfish.  Fun stuff... small fish on light tackle make for a "big fight"!

Tenkara Fishing At The George Bush Library.... Video Clip.

Following up on our earlier post.  This is the short video clip of the Bruiser Bluegill we caught while on a road trip Saturday (12Mar'11) using the 12' Caddis Tenkara Rod we purchased earlier this year.

Pond is located behind the George Bush Library at Texas A&M and is catch and release and barbless hooks only, so.... there may be more Bruisers lurking where this one came from!

Caught Three Sunfish On The Tenkara Rod and a Purple Clouser Variant Yesterday.

Braved the gusty winds to try Tenkara Fishing yesterday.  Managed to catch three Sunfish using the Tenkara Rod and a Purple Clouser Variant.  Made a short video of the outing and posted it below.

Today, was on the road passing through College Station.  Decided to stop by Texas A&M and fish the pond behind the George Bush Library.  Used the Tenkara Rod to stick with the minimalist approach to fishing (easy to pack the rod in the car).

Ended up losing the Purple Clouser Variant but had a pleasant surprise catching a Bruiser Bluegill!  Will post a video later.
