Tenkara

Wow 2 post in one day!
Over the past few weeks I've been looking at Tenkara ( Japanesse flyfishing ) so last week I ordered an Iwana II 12FT. rod and 13FT. of furled line from TenkaraUSA.com. I've only fished this rod a couple of times but it's fun and only a little different from western flyfishing.

Fall Spawn ?

Over the past couple of weeks I've been catching some nice size Bream with bright colors on the 1wt. and 3 wt. rods.

Tenkara

I've stumbled across Japanesse flyfishing called Tenkara on the net, it looks interesting. I think I'll give it a try. More to follow...

More ditch fishing

The boy and I had a chance to bond and fish, witch is one and the same, yesterday afternoon by fishing in a near by creek with light rods, a 1wt and a 3wt, and caught some small bream and almost stepped a water moccasin.

Ditch fishing tonight

Just behind some a local park runs a small wood creek that I have been looking at for a very long time . Tonight or this evening really, I got back into it and found a gem of a stream. Highly shaded, clear water that is about 18 inches deep on average, and wiyh a sandy bottom. It has lotts of little Bream just a bit shorter than my hand that are eager to hit a surface fly or a scudd. By the way I was using a 3wt.

Fighter

This is the "Fighter" pulled out of my neighbors pond using a 5wt W.W.Griggs rod and a size 10 orange/black jitterbee fly fished about a foot under a thingamabobber indicator.

My neighbor from across the street has a small pond and I have finally started to fish in it , after only three years of being neighbors. Anyway, most of the fish are small but a few are good size. The wife caught most of the fish including the cat fish, she is "The Fish Whisper".
