Plan was to fish Waterloo Park Pond in Denison with Centerpin Combo but switched last minute to a One-Handed Spey Fly Fishing Combo that used the OPST Commando Head 175grn on a 4wt, 8ft fly rod.
Cold and windy morning, I decided to keep it simple and use on fishing fly - an Olive Near Deere. I would adjust my retrieve and depth until I limited out.
Do check out the video where I find the pattern limit out!
Note: I used a 175grain OPST Commando Head not a 200grain as mentioned in the video.
Fun time in Denison today. Nuclaroche and I fished Waterloo Park Pond. After a lot of missed hook sets to rising trout feeding on little, black bugs, we figured out the pattern - a COAF Griffith's Gnat in Size 16!
The Trout started out taking dry flies on a dead drift but as the wind picked up and the insects started "skittering" on the surface more, the Trout were wanting more movement on the dry fly.
Fun day, especially being able to catch them on dry flies. Also, had lots of fun casting and catching fish using the COAF Micro Fly Rod!

No worries for this Blogger... or as Glenn calls me, "The Weblog Admin". That said, since I am a volunteer and don't get paid, I do like being referenced as "The Weblog Admin"!
So until the next report, here is picture that the Team sent. From his notes, it sounded like the birds return each year to Waterloo in Denison!

Received an update from the Team... limited out at Waterloo!
Overall, it looked like a number of fishermen limited out. Bait seemed to outdo lures. No worries, Good thing our fishing buddy figured out the pattern this round and had PowerBait ready to go!

Saturday morning... Looks like the rain is letting up. Checked the local ponds and noted water levels are up.
Have not heard from the Team about the action at Bethany Lakes but will post an update as soon as they report in.
That said, here is a picture showing the water is flowing at Bethany Creek Pond (just up the road from Bethany Lakes)!

Was out and about today. Too nice a day to stay indoors. Decided to make a quick trip to Waterloo Pond while passing through Denison today. Was hoping for a limit but it was not the case. That said, yours truly caught his first fish for 2021… a little trout that went for a Tandem Rigged Near Deere and GRHEN. Trout went for the GRHEN! Great start to 2021!
