fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 Fly Fishing: Quality Fly Line and a Bamboo Stake Pole? The other day decided to demo casting a quality fly line using a bamboo stake pole normally used for gardeners to support tomato plants. This round, fished a local pond and caught a fish or two using the bamboo stake pole as a fly rod, weight forward floating 6 weight fly line, and a Near Deere fishing fly. Fun stuff!

fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2021 BFS Fishing | Micro Crankbaits for Bass Midweek was able to go pond fishing for Bass. Fished with the Dual BFS Micro Flyrod and the Kastking Zephyr BFS reel. Left the fly reel in my jacket, but was ready to swap reels and go fly fishing if needed!

Switched to a minnow lure we bought at Walmart for less than $2 and caught several more Bass Fun stuff BFS fishing with light lures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2021 Jon Boat Fishing | Easy Catfishing at the Local Lake Still breaking in the new Suzuki 2.5hp Outboard but finally got to go fishing, too! Started out catch bait - Shad, at the boat ramp. Then, ran to a few submerged trees for a chance at Crappie. No luck on the Crappie, so opted to run the motor a little before deciding to anchor in a spot that was out of the wind and fish for whatever was biting. Was a fun time catching dinner at the local lake! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 Easy bluegill fishing fly | Foam Rectangle Fly? Pond fishing with the 4wt Fly Rod and Reel! Wanted to try a simple fishing fly that did not require lots of material! Took a rectangle cutout of 2mm closed cell foam and tied it on to a size 12 hook. Added legs... then fished it to a bed of Bluegill. It works! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng84 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2021 Get Started Fly Fishing | Try an Easier Simple Foam Fly Pattern! The other day I tied a variant of a Foam Grasshopper Pattern that used a rectangle shaped foam pattern to make a two segment body. It worked well on Bluegill and a Bass, too! Taking it one step simpler, shortened the rectangle so I could tie the pattern with only one body segment. The end result, more Bluegill and Bass! Unfortunately, I lost the fishing fly. No worries though; had a Foam Grasshopper in Size 14 at the ready and was able to keep fishing. Caught a number of Bluegill and Bass including some nice ones! Looks like simple works! Check out the video! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
