Your Microfishing Stories

I have started a Volume 2 of the Your Micofishing Stories.

Click to go to Your Micro Fishing Stories vol 2

This is where you share your stories. At least in the US, microfishing is still relatively new and relatively small. Help other microfishermen (and women) get started by sharing your stories of what has worked for you and what hasn't. You don't have to be an expert to help someone just starting out.

Your thoughts and comments might be just what it takes to persuade another angler that it can be just as much fun and just as challenging to catch fish that are measured in inches rather than pounds.

Submissions that include links will not be published.

Just to be safe, please make a copy of your submission before you hit the submit button. I did have one comment that didn't come through and had to be rewritten.

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

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.

Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.

Beware of the Dogma

All the hooks sold on TenkaraBum.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or incorporated into flies, are sharp - or as Daiichi says on their hook packages, Dangerously Sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.

Also, all the rods sold on TenkaraBum.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
