Out and About with a Prince Nymph Fishing Fly.

Was out and about the early evening at Celebration Park's North Pond and Bethany Creek Pond's feeder canal. Testing the waters for Bluegill using a Prince Nymph fishing fly. Fish are in the upper column and are active.

March 31, 2009 - Archgate Park in Plano.

Checked out Bethany Lakes in the early afternoon. No luck flyfishing a Wooley Bugger. Stopped by Archgate Park in Plano in the early evening. Caught one Bluegill on a Wooley Bugger, and then several more on a Bead Head Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph. One Bruiser Bluegill came in at just under 8" in size!

Bethany Lakes - Upper Pond

Checked out the Upper Pond and noticed a lot of floating debris near the pier area. Tried to fish a streamers but could not get a good cast due to the wind. Also, had trouble with hang-ups and snags. Going to give it a rest until the wind calms and the temps warm up more.

Good luck and good fishing!

March 29, 2009 - Bethany Ridge Park Bluegill

Stopped by Bethany Ridge Park this afternoon. Caught small Bluegill flyfishing a dryfly. Fish were readily striking on the surface. Looks like things warmed up since yesterday and this morning.

Bethany Lakes Lower Pond

Checked out Bethany Lakes yesterday. The Lower Pond's water level remains low despite the recent rain. Spillway is not working properly as water is flowing around it due to erosion. Reported the issue to Parks and Recreation.

Did fish the area despite the strong wind, cold temps, and low water. Surprised to get a few strikes working the surface.

March 27, 2009 - Bass on a Foam Rubber Spider Variant

Back to Bethany Lakes for more Bass. Started flyfishing an Olive Wooley Bugger and promptly lost it to a sumberged snag.

Checked the flybox and noticed no more Olive Wooley Buggers. Tied on a Foam Rubber Spider Variant in hopes of topwater action.

Success! Caught one Bass that was 12" in size and had a number of other strikes but no solid hook-ups. Will have to try the topwater action again once the front passes through.

At the Movies.

Kept active with an early morning run, and then a quick trip to Bethany Lakes and caught a Bass.

Closed out the day by taking in a movie. Watched the movie "Knowing". Not sure why it made number one this past weekend. Preferred "I Love You Man" over it.

Posted reviews of both movies on our movie review blog. Check it out some time.
