Kroger Park Then Bethany This Round

Fished Kroger Park (officially Bethany Ridge Park) pond and caught a Bass on a Beavertail Grasshopper.  Then, went across the street and fished Bethany Lakes and caught several more Bass, using a Foam Damsel Fly and a Foam Grasshopper.

Had ordered some Foam Cutters to make a variant of the Foam Grasshopper that we tie.  It's a Beavertail Foam Cutter that is used to make a Chernobyl Ant.  Used it to make a Beavertail Grasshopper.

Also, ordered a Damsel Fly Foam Cutter; used it to make a Foam Damsel Fly the mimics the Dragonflies that the Bass were feeding on.  Too bad it only lasted two fish before the tail was torn off!

Liking the Foam Cutters and especially liking the Foam Damsel Fly.... very easy to tie using a minimum of material!

Check out today's video.  Action was slower compared to yesterday but regardless, had a fun time and was able to "test" a promising new fly pattern!

Sunday Morning Outing

Fished Kroger Park this round.  Caught panfish using fishing flies.  Went with the Four Weight Fly Rod again. Fun stuff!

Pattern Changed....

Tied a White Damsel Fly Variant and tested it out a Bethany.  Had one Bluegill take it solid, and then had others strike but no hookups.  Switched to a White Grasshopper Variant and had a few more strikes, then called it quits at Bethany.  Went across the street to Bethany Ridge and hooked a few Bluegill and Shellcracker.  Pattern changed; suspect the cool front had something to do with it.  Still had a fun time!

Bluegills and Shellcrackers This Round!

Was able to sneak away and fish again this afternoon.  Decided to fish Bethany Ridge (Kroger Park) this round.  Used the 4-WT Flyrod and the Guadalupana and caught Bluegills and Shellcrackers!  Fish were lurking about 30'-40' from shore and were taking the fishing fly lightly. Guessing about 15+ fish caught and released!  Fun stuff!

Kroger Park Then Bethany Lakes Today!


Checked out White Rock Creek this morning.  Did a little scouting along one of the feeder creeks with no success.

Decided to head back to Allen, then fished Kroger Park.  Caught Bluegill and saw a Bruiser Bass looking like it was getting a spawning bed ready.

After catching a few Bluegill, went across the street to Bethany Lakes and managed one Bass and a Sunfish!

Used the Guadalupana, Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph, and a Red Midge to catch the Bluegill.  Used an Olive Wooley Bugger to get the Bass and the Sunfish.

Great day today; fun stuff!

Something Is Still There....

Went back to Kroger Park for another go at the Bruisers that were feeding on bread the other day.  Brought more bread and a Bread Fly that we made using poly fibers from a pillow.

After chumming the area, cast the Bread Fly and a trailer hook baited with bread.  A Bruiser stole the bread, then hit the Bread Fly hard.  Fight lasted only seconds as the line broke soon after. Need to go with a stronger test line next time.

Having lost the Bread Fly, baited a hook with bread and managed a Bullhead and Bluegill just like the other day.  Frustrating to have had one break off; still had a great time though!

Something is There.

Went to Bethany Ridge this evening.  Was testing out a Senko Fly but soon switched to Bread for bait when we noticed something large feeding on Bread that someone had left for the ducks.

After chumming an area, started seeing some large Catfish splashing the water as they fed on the floating pieces of bread.

Only managed a Bluegill and a Bullhead but was good to know there are some Bruisers lurking in the pond!

Out and About Today

Nice day today. Decided to fish Bethany Ridge Park (also called Kroger Park).  Caught little Bluegill using a Guadalupana and then a Zebra Midge.

Then, went across the street to Bethany Lakes.  Caught one Sunfish in the canal; tried the Lower Pond, Main Pond, and Back Pond without a strike.

Finally, went to Davis Library in Plano and caught more Bluegill.  Did see some Bass lurking but were unwilling to strike our fishing fly.  However, one young fisherman caught a Bass using a Wacky-Rigged Plastic Worm!

Fun stuff!
