Quick Trip to Bethany Lakes This Evening

Made it to Bethany Lakes this evening for a quick trip! Caught a Bluegill and a Bass.  Missed others but just was not quick enough to hook up.  No worries... sure beats working!

Did get a new lens cover for the GoPro; no more scratches!  Looking forward to try it out tomorrow while kayak fishing at Texoma tomorrow!

Damsel Flies This Round

Brought the Switch Rod and fished Plano East Senior High School's catch and release ponds. Slow action this time but did manage to hook up with four fish.  First one was a little Bluegill that went for a Purple COAF Damsel Fly.  Second one was a Sunfish that also went for the Damsel Fly. Next, was a Catfish that went for a Tube Damsel Fly in purple marabou.  Last one was a Bass that took the Purple COAF Damsel Fly as well.  Took a quick measure of the Bass; went just under 15"!  Fun stuff!

Three Bass Using Tube Damsel Flies

Slow action and a late start made it tougher to hook up today. No worries, persistence was the key. Managed to get three Bass to take an Orange Tube Damsel Fly. The size 6 treble hook made for better hook up rates with only one missed strike this time.

Tube Damsel Fly Worked Well, Then Switched to Bread for Bait

Started out catching fish with a Tube Damsel Fly. Caught two Bass and two Catfish using a Tube Damsel Fly.  One Catfish went about 17.5".

Then, switched to bread for bait and caught a few nice Catfish. Most went 17"-18" with a few small ones mixed in.  Posted videos but did mis-count the number caught using bread... was not nine Catfish, think it was eight. No matter; had a fun time using what we had - a fly rod and freelining bread.

Only Two This Round

Only two this round but did have several missed hook sets and break offs.  Had tied two Tube Damsel Flies - one Olive and one Purple. Was able to hook and land a 17.5" Catfish with the Olive one, and then lost the fishing fly to a break off.

Fished the Purple Damsel Fly and had several more missed hook sets, and then had a Bruiser break the line. Out of Tube Damsel Flies, switched to COAF Damsel Flies.  More missed hook sets, and then noticed people feeding ducks with bread.

Soon after the Catfish showed, so put up the fishing fly and switched to freelining bread. Good thing... ended up catching Catfish #2; measured 22"!  Fun stuff!

Tube Damsel Fly This Round

Testing out another tube fly pattern.  This one is the COAF Damsel Fly but tied on to a tube. After several missed hook sets, switched hooks from a worm hook to a treble hook and was able to catch three Bass. Going to make more adjustments, and then try it out again.  More to come!
