Looking at hitting some local ponds for winter largemouth bass (and likely bluegill bycatch) fly fishing here in NE Florida. Averagely competent on the vise. Any fly pattern suggestions I should spin up? Being a "trout guy", my bass box is far from dialed in.

It's so nice to see that the #Flyers have some stability in goal (at least so far) this year. Was tough winning (& watching) games last year when the other team would routinely score 4 or 5 goals. Hope Vladar & Ersson are able to keep it going over the long haul. Zegras seems like a solid piece too.

Flies tied for the Tenkara Angler Fall kebari swap... A dozen beadhead road kones for the fellow tyers and a few for the swapmaster. If you're participating, don't forget the deadline is October 15th! 🤘

Caught some fish today. Kind of like how the reflection of the sky on the water plays off the color of the trout in this one. Hope everyone's Labor Day weekend is off to a great start! 🤘

Futzing around on the vise this afternoon, tying up some futsu #kebari I've become fond of. Wool yarn body, a few twists of white stiff hackle, and a red thread head. Not the prettiest, but they'll do. Probably finish up the dozen after dinner... 🤘

We need to come up with a name for an assembly of #kebari... a swarm, a hatch, a squadron, etc... Either way, looking great! I did a bunch of beadhead sakasa tying this weekend to get ready for my upcoming trip to the Driftless...

This was my first #tenkara setup, circa 2009. Tenkara USA Iwana 11" 5:5 (more like 6:4), a furled line on one of those old school blue spools... remember those? And a mint tin filled with Elk hair caddis and most likely Copper Johns. Caught so many damn trout, bet it still would today... 🤘

It usually happened when I'd remove the hook. Maybe squeezing a bit too hard, IDK. I used to catch them on spinning tackle so the treble hooks were a little harder to pop off than a fly might be.

There are a handful of flies I feel I am competent at tying. This is one, a weighted honryu kebari, a pattern introduced to me by a fly tying tutorial by John Pearson when he was creating Discover Tenkara content. A top 3 or 4 pattern in my fly box... 🤘

Have been a little removed from Bluesky as I work in sports & the NFL Playoffs/Super Bowl were pretty time consuming. Looking forward to turning the page and picking up new conversations about #flyfishing #tenkara (at @tenkaraangler.bsky.social) #wwe #starwars #phillysports

So was the gas fireplace located in the water, similar to a whirlpool, or on the bank beside you? How exactly did said bass end up in there, while handling or after jumping from a strong headshake? I'm interested in the mechanics of the event and the magic qualities of this fireplace.

Putzing around when I should be going to bed. Bought a little turntable display thingy this week for the fun of it. Testing it out with a vintage Berkley 530 fly reel I'm going to clean up & restore for this Spring. ❤️🤘 #flyfishing

I love the Yakoda Purple Reign or Mountain Dew. They're basically minimalist Rainbow Warriors. For me, those are "buy not tie", but could be easily tied as well.

Kiwi ties some great flies. I used to tie (and fish) his "royal sakasa kebari" quite a bit. That hotspot, probably similar to the bubble is an attention getter. I think I need to get some more of his patterns back into my tenkara fly box.

Bradley & I have a love, hate relationship. Mostly undeserved hate from my side because I never fare well here with a rod in my hand, but it looked pretty in the snow flurries today, so here we are... 🤘

Had the best night catching up with some of my oldest friends at one of our haunts from back in the day, Pinocchio's. It's amazing how easy it is to pick up twenty year old conversations as if time had never passed. Pinocchio's even still has all you can eat pizza, who knew? 🤘

The family wanted to do some fabric shopping in Amish country. I dropped them off for an hour and popped over to check out Creekside Fly & Tackle. Cool little fly shop. They've got a small & mighty assortment of gear, and some awesome shop logo apparel & headwear... 🤘

Florida to Philly road trip. 16 hours later, finally time for bed. Snapped a few pics from our journey north along the I-95 corridor. Mostly of gas stations. Long day, might sleep in tomorrow morning... 🤘

Who's tying flies? While I don't love #flytying I'm going to start the off-season process of filling gaps in my fly boxes. I mostly tie trout patterns I can use on both #flyfishing or #tenkara tackle in sizes 8-18. What patterns are you tying this winter? Share some pics, I'd love the inspiration! 🤘
