Just wonderful! Love this. My dad and I would drive backroads and fish for “minnows” and anything else that would take a tiny jig, fly, or sometimes bait. Can’t wait to do more of it although dad won’t be with me now. Thanks for the nice video.

Really enjoyed your micro documentary. This is something I can really get into. Can't wait to say.. "I once caught a fish 🤏🏻 big" lol

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it!

Fantastic video! I love how you approached the topic in such a calm, respectful, and informed way. Well done!

I actually paused your vid to order "Peterson's", Lol. I can't get enough of micro-fishing. I used to get mocked for intentionally setting out after tiny fish. There's always been something magical about hiking to remote tiny streams with an ice fishing rod. 👍

I started a group on Facebook a few years ago called Tenkara Micro Fishing and it has grown to over 1000 members! I just shared this video since it is a great starter video that covers the basics well.

Thank you so very much for this video. Just looking at starting microfishing and this was very helpful. Your love and respect for the outdoors shines through- much respect for the work you do. Much appreciated!

you are welcome!

Solid video, don't know why it doesn't have more views and likes. Very informative, and shows how amazing micro fishing truly is.

thank you for this video. my wife and i fish crappie for feeding our family, but now i am going to start micro fishing for sport

Excellent video, so well produced. A whole new world for anglers! Keep waterways clean folks :)

Nice to know there are so many species in your neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and a location, most blogging micro anglers are tight lip about the locations and i dont know why, not like one can EAT these little beauties.....mostly just like you I "catch-photo-release" all fish not just the micros. BTW my smallest bluegill is 2.2cm long...lol.

Micro fishing is such a blast! Especially in creeks. Great video

Nice video. I'm a lifelister based in MN currently at 46 species. Cool to see someone doing this.

I use a net, and didn't learn about micro fishing for a long time. The net seems to be easier to catch way more fish like top minnows and whatnot, but might invest into a micro rod if I come across something I can't catch. So far running through the shallow creek with a net seems to get everything and more.

Oh this is neat. I’m from Vinita OK and was just looking for some gear recommendation and this was the first video recommended. I guess I’ll be heading to spavinaw tomorrow now.

Ive caught some big fish in my time but am just as happy to catch red spot chubs and darters around Okie waters. Great video.

that tom cat was sick!!!

Excellent. Great views of the fish and the habitat. Thank you for the advice!

Nice to see more people out there getting into microfishing. The “creek chub” was a bluehead chub the nocomis leptocephalus

@Minty, the Bluehead Chub does not occur in Oklahoma. The only Nocomis in the Illinois Watershed is the Redspot Chub, Nocomis asper
