Purple Damsel Fly, Foam Rubber Spider, and the Tenkara Rod,... Great Combo!

Been tough to breakaway from work these last few weeks.  Luckily, was able to flex the Tenkara Rod this evening and catch (and release) a fair amount of fish... Bluegill, Sunfish, Shellcrackers, and Bass!  Went with the Purple Damsel Fly, then the Foam Rubber Spider.  And, fished with the Tenkara Rod only.  Keeping it simple so as to focus on fishing rather than the gear!

Quick Trip To Bethany Lakes Gets a Bluegill and a Bass!

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening to try out the Deer Hair Bug and other fishing flies.  Action was slow but did manage to catch a Bluegill and a Bass.  Bluegill was a little scrapper; Bass put up a good fight on the fly rod.  Estimated size was about 15" in length!  Fun stuff...  even made a short video of today's catch!

Another One Bass Quick Trip At Bethany Lakes

Fished Bethany Lakes again using flyfishing gear and the Purple Clouser Variant.  Limited time to fish, so it was another quick trip.  Only one Bass again, but things looked promising with a lot of surface activity in the shallows.

Cold and Windy... Managed Only One Bass Tenkara Fishing

Limited time to fish this morning... managed to make it to Bethany before the wind picked up.  No luck working the Back Pond with a BH Black Leech.  Wind picked up... and switched to the Purple Clouser Variant.  Had a little Bass take the fly!  Fun stuff....

Tenkara Fishing At Night Yields a Couple Bass!

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening using the Tenkara Rod and the Purple Clouser Variant.  Worked the shallows despite the windy conditions.  Managed several strikes, a missed hookset, and two Bass landed!

Like this ease of fishing with minimal gear; made for less tangling and snags and more time fishing!  Give it a try when you get a chance!

Two Bass At Bethany Lakes On The Purple Clouser Variant

More fishing at Bethany Lakes... this time missed a Bass, and then caught two using the Purple Clouser Variant.  Tried a Surface Popper in hopes of getting some topwater action.  No luck but did get strikes immediately on the switch to the Clouser!

Three Bass and Two Bluegill At Bethany Lakes

Checked out Bethany Lakes this afternoon.  WIndy with a cold wind blowing made it tough flycasting.  Did manage two catch three little Bass and two Bluegill.  Used the Purple Clouser Variant, Hares Ear Nymph, and a BH Nymph!  Fun stuff,... had the polarized glasses on and noticed some 2 pound + Bass lurking in the shallows!

Two Bass and Four Bluegill At Bethany This Morning

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning for about an hour.  Caught two Bass and four Bluegill using the Purple Clouser Variant with a Flashback Copper Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph as a trailer.  Bass struck the Clouser; Bluegill struck the Nymph!

Fun stuff.... Again, used the Tenkara Rod and fished no more than 20' from the bank.  Fish are there, just not hitting aggressively.  Slow retrieve is the key.

Two Bluegill on a Purple Clouser Variant and the Tenkara Rod

Went to Bethany Lakes in the morning and caught a Bluegill and lost two Bass on a BH Olive Wooley Bugger.  Returned this evening to try out a new pattern - Purple Clouser Variant.  Used the Tenkara Rod to work the shallows and managed two land two Bluegill.  No Bass this round but did notice they were striking on the surface.  Going to come back with the Foam Rubber Spider Variant!
