fshng84 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks mikechell, they are nice looking fish. Does take some work to get distance with the little rod; I may try a heavier fly line since the rod guides are larger than the pen fishing rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 If the rod is bending a lot with that fly line, don't go heavier. Go lighter and get a little better "spring" action from the rod to throw the line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 I have been known to fish a tip section of a 4 piece rod at times.. would like to build another 4'6" micro rod, have a reel that would be perfect on one already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Cool stuff... headed to the Blue River for Trout. Caught one only. Still had fun especially catching it with the Wine Cork Micro Fly Rod! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 Started out fishing a five weight yesterday for Bass, did well but then decided to fish a COAF Griffith's Gnat in the Canal for little fishes. After a while, switched to the COAF Micro Fly Rod. Lotta fun catching them on ultralight gear; like that it fits in the fly vest rain gear pocket! Yesterday's Video.

fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2015 Had fun fishing for little Bluegill and Sunfish with the Wine Cork Micro Fly Rod. Went with a Micro Dry Fly an hooked up with fish. Even had a Bass strike the little fly! Did not catch it but did get some video of the brief fight before it threw the hook. Fun stuff... Today's Video.

fshng84 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2015 Slow go this round but did get a Catfish using the Micro Fly Rod and fishing a San Juan Worm Ball... also, missed another. Today's Video. Good to know the little rod can handle bigger fish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2015 Used the Micro Fly Rod and a Foam Grasshopper in Size 14 to catch little Sunfish and Bluegill... Most were small (micro size) but did get several bigger ones in the mix. Overall had a fun time, sure beats working! Really liking the Micro Fly Rod concept, too!

fshng84 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 No Bruisers other than a nice sized Sunfish; no worries though, they all put up a good fight on the Micro Fly Rod! Cannot recall how many fish were caught and released but over 20 would be a good "guestimate"... next question, where to fish tomorrow? Going to play it by ear for now! Today's Video.

fshng84 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 ...caught a number of Bluegill using the Micro Fly Rod and an Elk Hair Caddis. Really liking the concept of an ultralight, collapsible fly rod that casts well and catches fish! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2015 Fished this evening for about an hour. Noticed the water level was much lower compared to two months ago in the local pond. Luckily, the fish were biting. They were little... perfect for the Micro Fly Rod and some Micro Fishing! Thursday's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2016 Rain today,... made a two-piece Micro Fly Rod from a broken flyrod! Post. Looks good with the other two rods. Now just gotta test it out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocco 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 The rod in walking stick mentioned earlier is, I think, what is known as a Poacher's Rod. It was against the law in Jolly Old England to be abroad at night on the roads with any means of taking fish. The penalties were stiff in locales where the local gentry owned all the trout waters. In Scotland I heard it was a hanging offense to be caught with a tailer in your pocket. Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
