Just wonderful! Love this. My dad and I would drive backroads and fish for “minnows” and anything else that would take a tiny jig, fly, or sometimes bait. Can’t wait to do more of it although dad won’t be with me now. Thanks for the nice video.
I started a group on Facebook a few years ago called Tenkara Micro Fishing and it has grown to over 1000 members! I just shared this video since it is a great starter video that covers the basics well.
I actually paused your vid to order "Peterson's", Lol. I can't get enough of micro-fishing. I used to get mocked for intentionally setting out after tiny fish. There's always been something magical about hiking to remote tiny streams with an ice fishing rod. 👍
Thank you so very much for this video. Just looking at starting microfishing and this was very helpful. Your love and respect for the outdoors shines through- much respect for the work you do. Much appreciated!
Nice to know there are so many species in your neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and a location, most blogging micro anglers are tight lip about the locations and i dont know why, not like one can EAT these little beauties.....mostly just like you I "catch-photo-release" all fish not just the micros. BTW my smallest bluegill is 2.2cm long...lol.
Oh this is neat. I’m from Vinita OK and was just looking for some gear recommendation and this was the first video recommended. I guess I’ll be heading to spavinaw tomorrow now.
I was thinking that nylon sewing thread 🧵🧵🧵🧵 could be the best line for fishing line and when I was thinking of the pole.. l thought I could use the 2-1/2 to 3 feet of a straight branch.... Just the tip of the branch.. and go from there... I will try it out...
I use a net, and didn't learn about micro fishing for a long time. The net seems to be easier to catch way more fish like top minnows and whatnot, but might invest into a micro rod if I come across something I can't catch. So far running through the shallow creek with a net seems to get everything and more.
