Brief Update @ Bethany Lakes.

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning and caught 2 Bass and a Bluegill flyfishing. More surface activity compared to yesterday. Looks like yesterday's cool front slowed the action temporarily. Will post pics on our weblog later. Good luck and good fishing!

No Hook Ups Today.

Fished Bethany Lakes Lower and Upper Ponds without success. Tried Bethany Ridge Park Pond without success. Went down the street to Bethany Creek Pond without success.

Decided to try Bethany Lakes Upper Pond again. Nada! Fish were not as active as the other day. Gonna have to try again later. No hook ups today.

Bethany Creek Pond - Bass

Received a report from one of our weblog readers on the fishing activity at Bethany Creek Pond - a neighborhood pond located east of Bethany Lakes.

Caught a 16.5" Bass using an artificial minnow. Hooked two others about the same size but did not land them. All were caught/observed near the bridge. Also, used a "fuzzy bugger" but the fish were not interested.

Olive Wooly Bugger and Bass @ Bethany Lakes

Olive Wooly Bugger continues to produce at Bethany Lakes with a few scrappy Bass caught this evening. More details on the weblog.

March 17, 2009 - St. Patrick's Day Bass

Fished Bethany Lakes this St. Patrick's Day evening for another try at Bass. Fished the Lower Pond without success, and then moved to the Upper Pond (horseshoe-shaped) without a strike. Decided to try elsewhere. While leaving for another spot, noticed fish actively feeding in the shallows. Stood fast and cast an Olive Wooly Bugger and immediately started getting strikes. Caught 5 Bass ranging from 10" to 12"; lost another Bass in about the same size range; and then had a decent strike but no hook-up on a larger Bass. All were caught flyfishing and in a 30 minute timeframe from when they started feeding in the shallows to when the bite stopped. Suspect they were chasing baitfish!

Large Koi Caught and Released @ Bethany

While out and about this evening, stopped by Bethany Lakes. Saw several folks fishing the ponds, observed two fishermen catching fish.

Both were by the pond nearest Joe Farmer Recreation Center. One caught a Bass while flyfishing; the other caught and released a large orange Koi on spinfishing gear!

March 16, 2009 - Back @ Bethany.

Back at Bethany Lakes this evening. Fished the Back, Main, and Lower Ponds. No strikes at the Back and Main Ponds. Caught a 14" Bass flyfishing the Olive Wooly Bugger at the Lower Pond. Also, did see a fisherman hook, land, and release a large Koi at the Lower Pond. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

March 15, 2009 - Bethany Lakes AM

Slow morning but managed to land a 4lbs Bass. More details on the weblog.

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!
