Caught a couple of fish this evening on a quick trip to a local pond! Went with the Two Piece Micro Fly Rod and a PMC Emerger Variant to catch a Sunfish and some other fish that we are not sure about... still counts! Post.

Fun with the micro fly rod we made years back. This one was the telescoping one that collapses to a length that fits in the backpack that your's truly uses for work. Good for those times when "fishy" waters are nearby while out during the work week! Video Post.

While on the way home from the day job, had the fishing bug strike. Luckily we keep a Micro Fly Rod in our backpack at the ready for these instances.Video shows the Micro Fly Rod variant that we made that collapses and has larger rod guides than the original ones that came from the manufacturer. Micro Fly Rod casts 30' without an issue; only need to adjust the timing of the forward and backcast and we tend to use a sidecast more often than not.
Quick Trip with the Micro Fly Rod!

Went kayak fishing yesterday on the local lake. Caught five Catfish using Shad on Juglines. Filleted them and cooked them blackened fish style. Tasty meal but still got a ways to go before the video is done; will get it posted soon as we can....

For now, did a quick trip with the Telescoping Micro Fly Rod trying to catch a small fish on a size 32 fly. Bluegill took it, switched to a size 18 Griffiths Gnat and caught a Sunfish. Fun times, especially with a rod that fits conveniently in a pocket. Do stay tuned for more on yesterday's kayak fishing video!

That micro fly rod is pretty cool.
Good job on the catfish on jugs. I was planning on doing that but never got beyond catching white bass.
Thanks for the video.

Alrighty, getting questions about the micro fly rods we use as well as another Near Deere Give Away! This round we show four Micro Fly Rods. And then, we end with a Near Deere Give Away. This give away is for three Near Deere - Olive, White, and Pink! Blog Post

Pond Fishing with the [quote][/quote]Micro Fly Rod #microflyfishing #flyfishing

Sidetracked this past Sunday from fishing. Go figure - needed to fix a lawn sprinkler that broke, then had to fix two more that were leaking. Before starting this honey do, made a quick run to Lavon for a chance at White Bass on the point at Brockdale Park. Struck out but had a blast catching sunfish and bluegill later that day. The micro fly rod did well... forgot how fun it is!

PS: Long video... mentioned some adjustments made to the line strike indicator, diy leader/tipper setup, and added a demo snippet of the rod casting easily 12 yards despite the shortness of the rod... aka top two sections of a broken 8wt we repurposed as a micro fly rod!

Redington Practice Fly Rod aka Micro Fly Rod #flyfishing

A tip from a YouTube Viewer on using the Orvis Practicaster Fly Rod as a Micro Fly Rod! Ordered it and Redington's version of one... the Orvis one is still in the mail but Redington's arrived.

Liking the Rio Fly Line that came with it. Really thick line... planned to use a Micro Fly Reel but needed a larger reel. Put an old Martin Fly Reel on the rod. Works awesome.

Here is a demo... hope to try it out fishing later this week! Do check back!
