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.
