Guadalupana... Gets a Bass at Bethany!

Read an article in Southwest Flyfishing magazine about the Guadalupe River.  Article recommended a fly called the Guadalupana for Rainbow Trout.  Looked like a Wooley Bugger but tied with Peacock Herl for the body and wrapped in Gold Wire.

Decided to make one and test it at Bethany.  Colder temps compared to yesterday but at least the sun was out.  Also, went ahead and tied a couple of BH Antron Streamers in Olive to go with the Guadalupana.

Fished the Guadalupana slow and under a strike indicator.  Managed to catch one Bass. Will have to keep this one ready in the flybox.  Like the "fishy" look that the Peacock Herl gives the fly!
