Micro Friday

Took a day off today to do a little micro fishing at my local county park. The set up for today was a 40 inch Schooleys Spring Bobber Pole attached with one pound line, a half moon tanago hook, a single B shot with 1.5mm of Little Atom micro plastic as bait.

Today was a many day. I was simply dapping the plastic between the shoreline plants. I was amazed at the takes.

I have attached a picture of my smallest of the day.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
