15 Bass On An Olive Wooley Bugger

Fished Stoney Hollow Park in Plano this evening. First time fishing the pond and was pleasantly surprised. Caught 15 Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger. Some were small, some were even smaller. But, did hook and lose a Bruiser that wrapped my line around a snag. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

"While You Are Dining"

A member of our Field Team started a new weblog - "While You Are Dining". Its intention is to provide readers suggested foods to order at local eateries in the Collin County (Texas) area. Check it out when you get a chance. Its a "work in-progress" but has a good start.

April 12, 2009 - Easter Sunday Quick Trip

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening to checkout the activity once the rain passed. Caught one Bass flyfishing an Olive Damsel Fly again.

Two On a Damsel Fly.

Caught two Bass this morning flyfishing an Olive Damsel Fly at Bethany Lakes. Bass were in the shallows and would follow the fishing fly but struck only on occasion. Tried Wooley Buggers, Surface Poppers, and other fishing flies without success. Cold morning may have had some effect on their appetite.

Out To Lunch

Went out to lunch yesterday. Stopped by the Thai Cafe in Allen and tried their lunch special. If you like Thai cuisine, you won't be disappointed. Partner had the Pad Thai, and I went with the Pra Ram.

Not sure how to pronounce Pra Ram but it eats well. It is basically pork cooked in a garlic sauce, served over steamed brocolli, and then covered with peanut sauce. Lunch special came with a Spring Roll and choice of soup or salad. Opted for the soup.

Keeping this "hide" in my back pocket for future reference. Just beware Peanut Allergy sufferers, Thai food means peanuts, so keep the Epi Pen near.

April 10, 2009 - Another Bass On A Wooley Bugger

One Bass this morning flyfishing at Bethany Lakes. Caught it on a Black Wooley Bugger using a slower retrieve. Bass seemed less active to strike; may be the cooler temps this morning.
