Finally made it out in the kayak. Birds were working the shad from above; White Bass were working the shad from below. Used a Fly Rod and a bow mounted rod holder to fish a tandem crappie jig and tube fly. Lots of fun with most bites on the tube fly! Video of the action.

Fished the Olive/White Tenkara Fly this evening. This round dusted off the Tenkara Rod and used it to fish. Forgot how simple it is to pack up and go fishing with it. Really liking the ability to "pulse" the Tenkara Fly with the up/down twitching of the rod. This round it was 24 fish in a mixed bag of little Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish. Fun stuff! Today's Video.

Simple Foam Rubber Grasshopper

Tested the Tenkara Fly. Caught one with it, then caught the remainder on a Foam Grasshopper. Green stuff clobbering the area made it tough to use the Tenkara Fly. Fun stuff catching Bluegill on their beds! Today's Video.- 69 replies

Tied a Tenkara Fly in a reverse hackle Olive Body and White Hackle pattern. For ease of reference, calling it an Olive/White Tenkara Fly. Lost the fly to a Bass but did end today's round with eleven fish - one on the Tenkara Fly and ten on the Foam Grasshopper. Fun stuff... will get more Tenkara Flies tied for another round of "testing" Today's Video.

Tried a new pond this round. Had passed by this little pond in the past but never stopped to fish it. On a whim decided to give it a try. Caught little Bass and Bluegill using the scaled down Foam Grasshopper. No Bruiser but still lots of fun! Today's Video. Was tough dealing with the trees and the overhanging branches but did get enough casts to hook a few!

Simple Foam Rubber Grasshopper
fshng84 replied to fshng84's topic in Step by Step Patterns & Tutorials
Went with the Foam Grasshopper and caught a number of Bluegill and Sunfish. Did get several Bass to look at our fishing fly, but all opted to move on instead of strike. Lots of brush made it tough on casting, good thing we practiced roll casting last year. Came in handy this round! Yesterday's Video.- 69 replies

Been some time since we fished the Feeder Creek. Checked it out yesterday, and overall the creek is looking good. Not sure what today's rain will do to it. No worries, good excuse to come back again! Saw some nice looking Bass lurking in the area. Bluegill and Sunfish were also roaming about. Went with the Foam Grasshopper and caught a number of Bluegill and Sunfish.

Thanks! Been playing around with different camera angles. One camera I added a polarized filter using an old pair of sunglasses. Helped a little. Hope to have more videos... just gotta a rain delay to deal with today.

Another round at the local pond, caught more Bluegill and Sunfish using a Foam Grasshopper. Not as big as yesterday but did get a nice Bruiser Bass that went 19" in size. Posted pictures on the Fishing Bulletin Board and got some action shots posted in the YouTube video. Today's Video. Bluegill went for a Grasshopper, Bass went for the Bluegill like yesterday but this time, we were able to bring the Bass in! Fun stuff on a 4 weight!
