Quick Trip to the Comal

Was on the road today.  Decided to give the Comal River in New Braunfels a try. Really hot day.  Could see fish lurking in the holes in the river.  Saw Bluegill, Sunfish, Tilapia, and Bass. Managed to catch four Bluegill/Sunfish; could not get the Bass to bite.  Even the Bruisers lurking in the area!

20 More Fish on the Fly at Bethany!

Went with the fly rod again and headed to Bethany this evening.  Was a tough go with all the algae; much different than yesterday!  Did manage to catch 20 fish this round; caught them on a Grasshopper, Dry Fly, and a Globug.  No Bruisers; still a lot of fun!  No action shots, just pictures of fish. PS: Met TFF's Future Biologist; was great meeting!  Only if the algae was not so bad....

20 Bluegill/Sunfish and 5 Bass Yesterday...

Went with a Fly Rod yesterday when we fished Bethany Lakes.  Question came up on the Texas Fishing Forum about fly fishing at Bethany.  Overall, we tend to get more strikes when fly fishing; yesterday's outing seemed the case compared to the Senkos we used on Monday. Caught 20 Bluegill and Sunfish and 5 Bass.  The Bluegill and Sunfish tended to be small... not as big as we saw earlier when they were on their beds at least in the Back Pond.  No Bruiser Bass either but they did put up a nice fight on a Four Weight; even got a few action shots!

Sunfish and Bluegill on the Fly this Round

Fished Bethany this morning with a Fly Rod.  Caught a number of Sunfish and Bluegill using a Crappie Jig Variant, a Guadalupana, and a Dry Fly.  Most went for the Dry Fly; caught 25+ fish but none were Bruisers.  Even caught a little fingerling Bass.  Fun stuff!

Should Have Went with a Smaller Sized Grasshopper

Went with a Fly Rod today.  Fished a Size 8 Grasshopper.  Should have went with a smalled sized one.  Had a number of Bluegill hit but only two were hooked and landed.  Also tried a Dry Fly but the fish did not want it.  Better luck next time!

Bethany Creek, then Bethany Lakes This Round

Checked out Bethany Creek; caught two Bass using a Lefty Deceiver.  No Bruisers but did see a couple of nice looking ones lurking in the area!

Then, went down the road to the Back Pond at Bethany Lakes.  Noticed the area nearest the Feeder Creek was covered with algae.  Went on to the deeper end, and worked a Foam Spider.  Caught three Bluegill and two more Bass!

Fun stuff!

Dry Flies and a BH Nymph This Time!

Fished Bethany this evening.  Went with the four weight fly rod and dry flies and one bead head nymph.  Caught Bass, Bluegill, and Sunfish.  Lost count of how many fish.  Surface action was good, especially liked the Bass taking a dry fly that simulates a dragon fly.  Also, largest Sunfish went about 8.5" in length.

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!

Bass On Its Bed at Bethany Gets Caught!

Returned to Bethany after work Friday.  Hoped to get an underwater video shot of Bass on their beds and possibly some footage of a Bass striking.  Managed to get one on camera.  Not a Bruiser but it still counts!  Fun stuff!

Three Bass at Bethany This Round!

Made a quick trip to Bethany Lakes this round.  Caught three Bass using a Damsel Fly.  Two were small 10" Scrappers and one went about 13" in size!  Caught them using "jerky" retrieve by making short pulls on the fly line.  All were caught shallow; must have been staging for an evening feeding frenzy of bait fish!
