#tenkara — Public Fediverse posts

I made it back up to the Nantahala National Forest this past weekend. The leaves were not yet in full swing, but they were beautiful all the same.

I did not see a trout. The fish in the photo is a rosyside dace (a minnow). It ate a size 18 wet fly.

The bass are still busy spawning and sitting on their nests, but I was able to land one last night. My hollow deceiver looks skinny out of the water, but it has volume under water where the fibers aren't under tension.

I got a lot of refusals at a different lake last night, but they were ready to roll at Stone Mountain tonight. I've been trying out a sort of heavy deer hair bug. Fishing with a Tenkara, I am holding the fly on the surface of the water. The "too long" hook allows me to give it a lot of motion on the surface.

I've been experimenting with deer hair caddis. Got a scandi line in the mail today, and I'm hoping to take one of these out skating tomorrow.

Out again at Stone Mountain this evening.

This is an earlier iteration after taking a swim. I've been bank fishing with these using a Tenkara Rod Company Sierra. Mostly casting at downed trees and other structure or where the clear shallow water transitions to the murky deep.

First catch of the spring. I was bank fishing with my Dragon Tail Foxfire. The weather was sooooooo goooood.
