More Ramblings About Fishing and More - Let's Talk Fishing - Episode 8

This round we talk more Bait Finesse Systems Fishing but focused more on what we have observed while using this technique in 2024.

So far, three limits of trout were caught fishing with BFS Gear. And, I restocked my lure making supplies as I was running short on inline spinner components.

I also made a simple blade lure from sheet brass and a single split shot. Prior to the Podcast, I caught two Bass with it and lost a third one that threw the hook.

Closed Out 2023 with Two Trout - Let's Talk Fishing - Reel Cast Fishing Podcast - Episode 2


Closed out the year with a final trip to Waterloo Pond in Denison, TX. Plan was to see if the trout would take a Squirmy Tail Nymph and to capture underwater action with the Water Wolf Camera.

As it turned out, the Trout wanted Dry Flies. Additionally, Trout were wanting PowerBait but needed to make sure the bait stayed above the bottom greenery plus add movement to the presentation.

Did manage two Trout that went for a Crackleback!

"Look Ma No Wings"... Fly Tying Article Posted!

Been having fun catching fish these past few outings. One pattern in particular seems to be doing well on top water action for Bluegill and Bass.

We started using the Simple Foam Damsel Fly pattern we have used for many years. It has done well for us, but always on the lookout for other patterns to “test”, we began a search for other damsel fly patterns.

We settled on one that called for mono eyes, a tail made of flexible material, hackle, and closed instead of open wings. Not sure what material was used for the tail, we settled on Sparkle Braid and apply Hard As Nails fingernail polish to shape it

We liked the hackle concept and the little bit of foam used for the body but had a hard time with the closed wing made out of a clear material. So, dropping the wing, we created our variant of a Damsel Fly… this one for want of a better name is called “Look Ma No Wings”.

Do give it a try when you get a chance – “Fly Tying – Damsel Fly Variant” article link.

Also, do check out the video of another variant we tested at a local pond. It uses a tail that lasts longer than the foam one, and uses hackle instead of rubber legs for wings.  Worked surprisingly well for us!
