Pond Fly Fishing - Good Morning (Edited) #Mobile #Fishing #Livestream
Cooler Temps, Breakout the Fly Gear!
The edited version of the Mobile Fishing Livestream video where I fly fish a pond using a Producer Fishing Fly and a 4wt Fly Rod!
Key Highlights:
- Producer in an olive variant worked well for Bass and Bluegill.
- Stealthy approach to the bank and casting standing back 10-15 feet minimized spooking the fish lurking near the bank.
- Fish readily struck the fishing fly; however, when Bluegill on beds were encountered, a slow retrieve through their beds seemed to work best!

Duck Creek Linear Park Fishing #microflyfishing #microflyrod
Short video of a quick trip to Duck Creek Linear Park while on the daily commute. Brought the two piece micro fly rod and the Foam Spider and Scud Tandem Rig to work the section nearest the bridge. Key take aways this round:
- There are Bass, nice Bass in the area but water is clear and they are skittish!
- Lots of Sunfish and Bluegill and Longear that will readily take a scud
- Temps are increasing and Summer approaches, creek will start getting clobbered with the “green stuff”
- Rocks placed along the creek offer excellent access to the creek… weeds and high grass are cleared around them!

Redington Practice Fly Rod aka Micro Fly Rod #flyfishing
A tip from a YouTube Viewer on using the Orvis Practicaster Fly Rod as a Micro Fly Rod! Ordered it and Redington’s version of one… the Orvis one is still in the mail but Redington’s arrived.
Liking the Rio Fly Line that came with it. Really thick line… planned to use a Micro Fly Reel but needed a larger reel. Put an old Martin Fly Reel on the rod. Works awesome.
Here is a demo… hope to try it out fishing later this week! Do check back!

Fishing Denison Dam - Tough Go #flyfishing #buffalo
Had a fun but tough time fishing Denison Dam Tuesday morning. Windy conditions and lots of waterflow from the power plant.
They were releasing water, but was able to work different areas on the Oklahoma side.
No striped bass but did see others catching them. Did catch as well as lose a Buffalo or two… was able to sight cast to schools that were feeding in a protected cove in the shallows.
Fun stuff!
PS: Fished Denison Dam Wednesday, June 10, 2020… another tough go. But, they were not generating. More video to come… here is the onsite update for now.

PS: Made it to Denison Dam for a chance at Stripers today. Posted a live update while there. Do check back… still editing the video of the day’s action. No Striped Bass but did catch a Buffalo or two!

Fly Fishing Duck Creek Linear Park #cabelascgr #fiberglassflyrod
Wednesday Hump Day has us back at Duck Creek Linear Park in Richardson, TX. This round has a couple of Sunfish that take the Foam Spider and Scud Tandem Rig. No Bass but did see several nice ones lurking about. Fun stuff… plus did a “drive by” video shot of the park to show the creek from a roadside view!

Foam Spider and Scud Flyfishing at Duck Creek! #cabelascgr #fiberglassflyrod
Fished the foam spider and scud tandem rig with the Cabelas CGR Fiberglass Rod and 2/3wt Echo Ion Fly Reel. Caught a Bass, had other little Bass eye the fishing flies… did have one swipe it but missed it. No worries… had fun with the Sunfish, Bluegill, and Longear Perch that were readily striking the tandem rig! Fun stuff!

Bass Fly Fishing with the Discount Switch Rod #foamgrasshopper
Stopped at Crowley Park in Richardson on the commute. Fished the 2wt Discount Switch Rod and a Foam Grasshopper to catch a Bass or two! Lotta fun… Bass tended to strike when the hopper was sitting still. Slow stop and go was the key! Fum stuff!

Only Two This Round Tenkara Fishing #flyfishing
Tough round this go… a little Bass and a Bluegill after spending most of the time trying to get Bass protecting their bed to strike. Had one strike but missed it; else, the Bass were definitely wary!
Overall, have been pleasantly surprised at the convenience of Tenkara and its simplicity. Definitely makes it easier for quick trips to fish local ponds while out and about and/or on a whim!

More Jugline Fishing for Catfish #lakelavon
Was a tough start Saturday… windy and a little chilly, plus no shad at the boat ramp at Highland Park. Made the quick adjustment, and decided to head to calmer waters… Bratonia Park, and to the Branch Convenience Store for bait.
No shad but they did have Nightcrawlers. Enough for us to get started setting out juglines. Luckily, did catch a few shad in the shallows as well.
In short order, had our lines deployed. But, took almost two hours before the first bite… a Blue Catfish that went for Shad.
After the first one was caught, bite stayed steady with several undersized caught and released; and then, we caught six Catfish – five Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish, for the stringer for Dinner… Blackened Catfish and Shrimp Etouffee!
