Bethany Lakes - April 18, 2008

Fished the Lower Pond this evening. Had a late start as repairs to a fence took precedence over fishing. Wind hit us hard again in Allen last night.

Was able to take a quick trip to Bethany Lakes and catch Bluegill using a Teeny Nymph. Fish were active and readily struck the fly even as darkness settled in over the pond.

Sampling of today's catch:
