Back to Bethany This Round

Back to Bethany this round.  Would have liked to kayak fish again but could not break away from work till later.  So, always can count on Bethany for a quick trip.  Caught a couple of Panfish and several Bass using a White Grasshopper Variant, and then took more on the Foam Diver.  Fun stuff!

Quick Trip To Bethany This AM, Foam Diver Frustration, Though!

Made a quick trip to Bethany this morning.  Went with the Foam Diver again as it was sitting in the office already rigged.  Brought no other gear.  Had a strike at the Horseshoe Pond and missed.  Moved on to the Main Pond and worked the banks.  Had two more missed strikes working the side near the Pavilion.  Continued working towards the other side, missing four more strikes.  Then, finally hooked a little Bass.  Was a quick trip this morning with lots of frustration due to missed strikes,... but it still beats working!

Foam Diver Gets a Few at Bethany This Afternoon

Been hit or miss these past few days being able to breakaway and fish.  Saw an opening this afternoon though, grabbed the flyrod, and headed to Bethany.  Went with whatever fishing fly was already on the line.  In this case, it was a Foam Diver.  Had several missed strikes but finally managed to hook several - four Bass and a Sunfish!  Good stuff!

Slow Day, Caught Several Fish Luckily

Went to Bethany to try the Deer Hair Bread Fly we made yesterday.  Had several strikes but no hookups.  Switched to a Nymph played around with the Sunfish.  Then, switched to a Purple Foam Grasshopper and caught Bluegill.  And then, switched to a Foam Diver and caught  a little Bass and lost a few more.

Foam Divers....

Still raining this morning, so no fishing yet.  Did finish two of the Foam Divers we were working on yesterday.  Tied one with a Red Head and Olive Body and the other with a Black Head and Purple Body.  Hope to try it out again when the weather clears and the temps warm up.

Till then, we wait....

Rain Delay....

Had a late start this morning, so by the time it was time to go fishing the rain arrived.  Ended up taking care of a few "honey do's" but more important did some tinkering with fishing related things!

Made a few more Foam Divers, made a "homemade method feeder" for Carp Fishing, tried a new way to make a Hair Rig, created a new recipe for a Dough Bait for Carp and Goldfish, stopped at Cabelas and picked up some flytying material (at 30% off), and then rigged up the "homemade method feeder" with the Hair Rig!

Now once the rain stops, hope to see what bites on the Dough Bait using the "homemade method feeder" and Hair Rig!

PS:  Did place an order with Bass Pro Shops for a Carp Rod and Big Carp Tackle for Method Feeders.  Hope the packages arrive in the next week.  Going to try having some fun with a fe Carp and Koi in the area,.. we hope!

Foam Diver Gets Two More Bass at Bethany!

Short on time; had to make do with a quick trip to Bethany this round.  Stuck with the Red/White Foam Diver like we used in yesterday.  Much calmer today; caught two Bass.  No Bruisers but did spy a couple in the shallows... that did not want a fishing fly!

Two Bass Went for a Foam Diver!

Went back to Bethany this evening to try out a Foam Diver and a Soft Hackle Dry Fly.  Too windy for the Dry Fly, so stuck with the Foam Diver.  Had a couple of strikes on a fast retrieve, then hooked and landed two Bass.  Kept at it despite the windy conditions... had two more strikes but failed to hook up.  Good Stuff!
