Stoney Hollow Park This Round

Decided to fish Stoney Hollow Park pond in Plano Friday evening.  Had good success there in the past.  This round went with a five weight fly rod and a Purple COAF Damsel Fly in size 12. Been having good success with the size 12 lately.

This round started slow but did pick up with Bass, Bluegill, Sunfish, and a Crappie!  Did see a Bruiser Bass lurking in the area but was not interested in a fishing fly.  Fun stuff; gonna have to come back for another round later!

Purple COAF Damsel Fly

Not able to go fishing today.  But, did make a few COAF Damsel Flies.  Tied them with purple Marabou on a size 12 streamer hook.  Hope to try them out soon!

Front Is Coming; Bite Still On at Bethany

Decided to give Bethany another try this evening before the cold front arrived. Nasty weather forecasted; looked like the Bass were active despite the windy conditions.  Lefty Deceiver was working catching several Bass, but ended up losing the Deceivers to snags.  Switched to a White Damsel Fly and caught a Bass, then lost it to another snag.  Then, switched to a Purple Damsel Fly until a Bass really tore it up.  Finally caught two more Bass using a Brown Damsel Fly.

A Lot of Bass This Round!

Fished Bethany and caught a lot of Bass.  Guessing about 30 Bass. Caught on Fly Fishing Gear, using a White Damsel Fly, Purple Damsel Fly, Brown Damsel Fly, and an Olive Guadalupana.  Water was clear and the Bass were active.

Six Bass and a Bluegill This Round

Fished Bethany this evening.  Caught six Bass and one Bluegill this round.  Three Bass went for Senkos, one Bass and a Bluegill went for a Purple Damsel Fly, and two Bass went for the Guadalupana!  Missed others that came off the hook while bringing them in; regardless, was another fun time on a really nice evening.  No action footage this time; just footage of fish.

Hidden Creek (Tyler)

Was on the road today. Brought along the Tenkara Rod and looked for any opportunity to fish. Tight schedules made for a tough go at wetting line. Luckily, found a hidden creek along a jogging trail. Small creek, lots of brush, and tight access... Tenkara Rod worked great. Too bad, there were only little Panfish to catch. No worries... it is still fishing! Even more, Purple Damsel Fly worked while on the road, too.
