Mixed Bag This Time

Cold front dropped temps and changed the pattern.  But, things started warming up a little.  Tried the Lefty Deceiver and had a few hits but nothing solid.  Switched to a White Damsel Fly and fished it slow.  Managed to catch a Bass, and then a White Bass!  White Bass went 14.5" in length and put up a nice fight. Then, noticed fish feeding on the surface.  Switched to a Dry Fly and caught Bluegill, Shellcracker, and a Bass!  One Shellcracker went 8" in length.  Fun stuff!

Front Is Coming; Bite Still On at Bethany

Decided to give Bethany another try this evening before the cold front arrived. Nasty weather forecasted; looked like the Bass were active despite the windy conditions.  Lefty Deceiver was working catching several Bass, but ended up losing the Deceivers to snags.  Switched to a White Damsel Fly and caught a Bass, then lost it to another snag.  Then, switched to a Purple Damsel Fly until a Bass really tore it up.  Finally caught two more Bass using a Brown Damsel Fly.

A Snake, Lots of Bass, and Trout?

Fished Bethany today.  Really nice day despite the windy conditions. Saw a Snake, caught 16 Bass using the White Damsel Fly, and saw some Trout being caught!  Not a bad day in April; sure beats work!

A Lot of Bass This Round!

Fished Bethany and caught a lot of Bass.  Guessing about 30 Bass. Caught on Fly Fishing Gear, using a White Damsel Fly, Purple Damsel Fly, Brown Damsel Fly, and an Olive Guadalupana.  Water was clear and the Bass were active.

Bite Was On at Bethany... Damsel Flies

Decided on the Four Weight Fly Rod this evening at Bethany.  Had a later start but the bite was on.  Managed to catch 18 Bass that went for a White Damsel Fly.  Faster retrieve was working this time.  Missed a lot more than we hooked.  Was lotta fun made even better by a nice day!



PS:  Better view of the Beaver we saw yesterday - calling it the "Bethany Beaver"!

Back To The Blue River

Went back to the Blue River Friday, 16 November for another go at the Rainbow Trout.  Temps were hovering around freezing in the morning.  Managed to catch four Trout!  First two went for an Olive Wooley Bugger Variant.  Third one went for a Olive/Black Wooley Bugger.  Last one went for a White Damsel Fly!  Did lose two others and spent a lot of time sight casting to Trout and Bass.  Had a number of them turn away at the last minute from the fishing fly.  Also, did get a couple of strikes on a Copper John; hooked but came off soon after.  Did not limit out but was a good day to be out there!

Bethany and Kroger Park this Round

Fished Bethany this evening.  Was hoping for more surface action  with the Foam Beetle.  Had a few strikes but no hook ups.  Switched to a White Damsel Fly and started catching Sunfish, Bluegill, and a few Bass.  After a break, decided to checkout Kroger Park across the street.  Caught a Bluegill and a Bass on a White Grasshopper Variant. Did see a couple of Bruisers on their beds; too bad they did not want to bite.  Fun stuff!

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.

White Wooley Bugger Gets Two Bass At Noon.

Broke away from the salt mines and made it to Bethany for a quick trip.  Caught two Bass on the White Wooley Bugger.  Fun stuff,... may try again later with another pattern - White Damsel Fly!  Thoughts are the Damsel Fly rides with the bend up, so less likely to snag the rocks. Will see....




PS:  Made it back later in the early evening.  Managed one more Bass on the White Damsel Fly.  Had less snags on the bottom, so the concept worked!  Too bad the picture did not come out well... a little Bass!
