Decided to hit Bethany Lakes before the next cold front.... Chose the "Concept Tenkara Rod" - a Tenkara style fishing rod made using three sections of a Japanese Telescoping Rod. Wanted to try fishing with only a rod, line, no reel, and a tandem rig of two fishing flies - a BH Leech and Nymph.
Temps were already dropping by the time we got started. After an hour of fishing, had no strikes in the Main Pond, the Canal, the Waterfalls, and the Back Pond. Moreover, lost the one Nymph to a snag.
Was getting ready to call it quits but "just one more cast" resulted in a Bass! A few more casts later made for another hookup on a Bass but lost it while landing it. A few more "just one more casts" brought in a Sunfish.
Fun stuff.... liking the Tenkara style fishing!
