Tenkara Fishing Still Does Well... Lost a Bruiser Though.

Took the Tenkara Rod to Bethany this evening and caught Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish using a Foam Rubber Grasshopper, a Purple Damsel Fly, and an Olive Damsel Fly.  Of the three, the Olive Damsel Fly did best.  Worked the shallows and had a number of strikes/misses.  Did hook into a Bruiser Catfish, fought it for several minutes, and then lost it while landing it. Line broke off... hated losing the Bruiser, hated losing the Olive Damsel Fly!!

Bethany Quick Trip At Noon, Then Kroger Park in the Late Afternoon,...

Made a quick trip to Bethany Lakes at noon today.  Tied more Olive Damsel Flies to replace lost ones.  Good thing, was able to hook and land one that went about 15" in size.  Slow retrieve and subtle strikes were the norm today.

Then, fished Kroger Park in the late afternoon and caught more Bluegill!  Caught a few on a Dry Fly with a lot of misses.  Then, switched to a Grass Shrimp Pattern that we tied but have yet to catch anything on it until today!

Bluegill really liked the Pattern.  Bass checked it out and struck but missed setting the hook.  May need to adjust the size, these were tied on a Size 16 Hook.
