I caught a couple of these little buggers yesterday on a micro jig fly blk/chart.
Sure was fun.

Good job Tex. Now, where's the pic of that microjig?

I'd like to see a photo of that fly, too! Recipe?

I suppose we should be patient, he seems to cast a big shadow.

The good news is I'm a lot smaller than I was last year.

Here's a link:

I use 1/64th ounce minnow head jigs. I'm hoping to buy a 1/80th and 1/100th ounce mold soon to trim them down even more.

Good Going.

Thanks.

Are the 1/64s tough to cast? What weight rod are you using?
