Village Holding Well... Bass and Bruiser Bluegill!

Stopped by the Village for a go at the Bass.  Fished a Guadalupana, BH Olive Wooley Bugger, and Brown Damsel Fly Variant.  Caught several Bass on the Guadalupana but ended up losing it when a Bruiser struck!  Went with the Wooley Bugger and caught more Bass and then lucked in to some Bruiser Bluegill,... largest ones went 8.5" with wide bodies giving them extra heft!  Ended the outing with one more Bass on the Damsel Fly Variant.  Glad to see the Village made it through last season's drought conditions.  PS: Since the Bluegill met the minimum 8" length, have posted them on the COAF Leader Board!

Bluegill and a Sunfish and a Lot of Frustration!

Fished Bethany Creek Park and worked the Brown Damsel Fly Variant.  Water was crystal clear and could see little, medium, and Bruiser Bass cruising the canal.  Had several go for the fishing fly but none were hooked solid.  Even had one that went easily over 4 pounds take the fishing fly twice.  Bottomline: A lot of frustration seeing them strike without one landed.

Shifted over to Bethany Lakes and noted several spawning beds had been worked over with a cast net.  Looks like that area is done this spawning season.  (Note: Pole and line fishing is the only leqal means to fish in a community lake).

Not wanting to leave without catching anything, decided to fish the canal with a White Damsel Fly in Size 10.  Caught a Bluegill and a Sunfish!

Next round, may need to shift over to trying to catch the Bruiser Koi that are lurking in the Main Pond for now.

Two Bass This Round at Kroger Park.

Fished Kroger Park this evening.  Caught two Bass using the Brown Damsel Fly Variant.  Worked slowly across their beds; the Bass could not resist.  One went about 12" other went just over 14".  Fun stuff catching them!

Only Two Bass This Round But Both Made the Leader Board!

dFished Bethany this evening.  Only caught two Bass this round but both made the COAF Leader Board and the One Fishing Fly Challenge!  One went 16" in size; other went 18" in size!  Both went for the Brown Damsel Fly Variant.  Did make a change to the fly.  Used a saltwater hook in size 2; same hook we use for Clousers.  And then, added some Brown/Orange Crystal Chenille.

Caught Several Bruisers Today at Bethany!

Had a great time fishing Bethany today!  Caught ten Bass.  One Bass went 19", another went 17", and another one went 15"!  Also, caught one that went 14"; remainder measured just under/over 12" in size.

All were caught on a Brown Damsel Fly Variant that has a weighted keel.  Keel allowed the hook to ride bend up and simulated a little crawdad.  Most were caught on a slow retrieve as the fly moved across their beds!

Good Stuff, finally able to post pictures of Bass on the COAF Fishing Leader Board and the One Fishing Fly Challenge!
