Trout Fishing Anyone?

have you gotten your rod? Which did you buy?

 

Yes! Got the Sato rod from Tenkara USA with a furled line. I've been picking up flies based on the type of fishing I'll be doing also. Already spent like $200 in flies. lol. Anyway, I'm going to do a little practicing in the yard and then pull the kayak out for some fishing. Not sure how well I can handle this on the streams with trees and such. I've been working the shad run here for now (catfish and crab bait) and will be hitting the crappie also. So much to look forward to this year. I've made fishing a priority!

 

It’s a ton of fun, which reminds me I need to get my fishing license.

 

I'm the lazy one that just decided to have it renew automatically every year! hahaha

 

Not lazy, smart

 

nice! the Rhodo (shorter version of the Sato) was my first tenkara rod and it’s been great.

 

I'm looking forward to it! I've been kinda doing the technique with my spinning set up anyway so I figure....let's jump in head first!

 

Been on the down side myself on this topic, but love fishing for trout.

 

Might as well go ahead and get a fly tying setup. Best thing I ever did and can make anything you want vs what the shop happens to stock.

 

if you don’t have the time or ability (like me) to tie your own, I’d recommend Big Y fly company to buy flies online. They are 1/4 to 1/3 the price of flies coming from orvis or another regular fly shop.

 

How many have caught a bat on a fly?

 

I never have but I have been wanting to try. I have bats behind my house and I have wanted to cut the hook off a fly and see if I could snag one.

 

My brother was using my fly rig at dusk. A bat bit the fly and the fun began.

 

Gotta love bat fishing, that’s my favorite

 

You can also check out Venture Fly Co on Amazon, they sell bakers dozens for around $15 and have some quality flies for sure.
