March 17, 2009 - St. Patrick's Day Bass
Fished Bethany Lakes this St. Patrick's Day evening for another try at Bass. Fished the Lower Pond without success, and then moved to the Upper Pond (horseshoe-shaped) without a strike.
Decided to try elsewhere. While leaving for another spot, noticed fish actively feeding in the shallows. Stood fast and cast an Olive Wooly Bugger and immediately started getting strikes.
Caught 5 Bass ranging from 10" to 12"; lost another Bass in about the same size range; and then had a decent strike but no hook-up on a larger Bass.
All were caught flyfishing and in a 30 minute timeframe from when they started feeding in the shallows to when the bite stopped.
Suspect they were chasing baitfish!
