Micro - Fishing with a Telescopic Pole

by Joe Angelucci

May 19, 2012

 

Finally was able to try my hand at micro - fishing for bluegill this Friday. I used a 5 foot South Bend telescopic pole, 6 feet of one lb test, and a #20  dry fly (gnat). I was able to sight fish and managed to land about 12 bluegill in the 2-3 inch range. Those small fish on that thin pole was amazing. I hope to ramp down the size of the fly and maybe go for a smaller sized gill

      I love micro fishing! It often turns a bad day into a good one. I "fly" a size 24 hook with a 2foot leader of 1.8# fly tippet and a little red worm. Caught green sunfish and largemouth down to 3/4 inch.
