Olive Crawdad Gets a Sunfish, Purple Grasshopper Gets a Bass

Morning trip to Bethany.  Colder temps and cloudy.  No worries, was able to get a Sunfish on an Olive Crawdad.  Then, switched to a Purple Grasshopper and caught Bass.  No Bruisers, still fun, just need to adjust the pattern with the weather change.

Two Bass and a Sunfish at Kroger Park This Evening.

Fished Kroger Park this evening.  Caught two Bass on an Olive Crawdad and then a Sunfish on a Yellow Grasshopper Variant.  Did see some Bruiser Catfish feeding on leftover bread that someone had left after feeding the ducks.  Had several hookups on them but could not keep on the hook long enough to land them!

Flyfishing at the Village Producing Bass

Fished the Village this morning with Flyfishing Gear.  Tied on an Olive Crawdad Fly and caught a Bass on the first cast, then lost the Fly to a breakoff on another Bass.  Murphy's Law came in to play as the only Crawdad Fly we had was the one lost to the breakoff.  Tied on a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger and caught two Bass of which one was actively chasing baitfish in the shallows.  Fun stuff... especially with the cooler temps!

Late Start... Only One Bluegill Tonight.

Late start for fishing.  Took the Fly Rod and an Olive Crawdad to Bethany Lakes.  Had a few light strikes but nothing solid.  Finally got a solid hit on a nice Bluegill well after dark.  Tough to get a good picture in the dark with the camera phone.  Managed to take one using light from a street lamp!

Tenkara for Lunch Anyone!

Been tough working our day jobs.  Busy times... regardless, gotta make time for the important things like Fishing!  Took a break at lunch and did a little Tenkara Fishing.  Caught one Sunfish on a Purple Damsel Fly and three little Bass on an Olive Crawdad!  Fun stuff, just went by too fast.

Tenkara Fishing at Lunch Time,... Three Sunfish and a Bass!

Another reason we like Tenkara Fishing is it offers ease of setup so that a short 30" Lunch Break can turn into a Fishing Trip!

Made it to Bethany and fished an Olive Crawdad.  Landed three Sunfish and a Bass.  Action was slower compared to yesterday.  Guessing the cooler temps has impacted them.  No worries, action will pick up again!
