<p>Don't neglect to try a small topwater foam popper or spider on your Tenkara rod. You may have to up your line size a bit due to the wind resistance of the flies, but there is nothing more exciting than seeing that swirl as a big gill sucks in your fly.…</p>

<p>I use mostly wet flies for 'gills and have been knocking them dead. The Killer Bug with the wire base sinks nice. I use it on the Tenkara rod which is easy to adjust depth by lifting or lowering the rod tip. Gotta get some more size 12 hooks to tie a few.</p>

<p>Sounds like a very nice day. I hope to start tying this year. Taking a mental health day on Friday and hope to get out with the Caddis. I will be trying something a bit different. I plan on using the rod with a aberdeen hook, small bb shot and no float. I'm hoping the rod will allow me to control the bait and help me get in down into the water column</p>
<p>I read that some anglers use this setup and have had very good results. </p>

<p>Tied up some killer bugs last week and tried them on Monday at a small local lake. Caught around 16-18 'gills and couple of crappie.</p>

<p>Tied up a few of those, but haven't given them a try yet. Took out my Tenkara USA Iwana 12' last Wednesday and wrecked the 'gills and crappie at a local lake. In 4 hours C&R 30 'gills and crappie, few small (small) bass and of all things a catfish, around 3lbs. All this one on 1 wet fly. It was done after a day of hard service. Can't wait to hit it again later this week, if I can.</p>
