March 15, 2009 - Only One But...

Fished Bethany Ridge Park near Kroger. No bites. Crossed the street to Bethany Lakes and had a few light strikes flyfishing an Olive Wooly Bugger. And then, hooked into one that went 19.5" and weighed 4 lbs. Only one this trip but it turned out to be a personal best Bass on a fishing fly!

Fish remain active with a lot of surface activity noted this morning in the lower pond. Bass were in the shallows chasing something. Note sure what. Observed Bass as well as other fish being caught. More details on our Weblog.

March 8, 2009 - A Bass, A Crappie, and Bluegill.

Went back to Bethany Lakes for a chance at the Bass. Decided to use flyfishing gear and managed to catch a Bass, a Crappie, and a few Bluegill. First used a Green Foam Rubber Spider and had strikes on the surface from the Bluegill. But, was not able to set the hook fast enough. Tied a White Spider Variant and caught and landed fish. The White Spider Variant is the same as the Foam Rubber Spider less the foam. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.
