Bethany Lakes PM

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening without success. Bass are looking but not striking at my lure. Will keep plugging away and report results.

April 25, 2009 - No Repeat @ Stoney Hollow Park

Checked out the pond at Stoney Hollow Park in Plano. Hoped for a repeat of the last trip - 15 Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger. No go this time. Only managed to catch one Bass. Had other strikes and saw several Bass chasing my fishing fly but nothing solid. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

April 24, 2009 - Bethany Again.

Quick trip to Bethany Lakes again. Tried to get the Bass to strike while in their beds. Can see them easily in the shallows but only managed to get one to strike. May need to shift to Lake Lavon and try hitting the points for White Bass and Yellow Bass using the kayak. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

Bethany Lakes AM

Stopped by Bethany Lakes this morning. No hook-ups but Bass were following my lure. Bass seemed to be near the pier and near the "pipe area" in the Upper Pond. Can see them on their beds. May need to switch to an "aggravator" type lure.

April 20, 2009 - Sunfish, a Bluegill and 2 Bass

Fished the pond at Davis Library in Plano this morning. Came away with nothing. Did observe Bass in the shallows but none were interested. Opted to try Bethany Lakes on the way home.

Pond at Davis Library

No luck this morning at the pond at Davis Library in Plano. Saw several Bass in the shallows but none were interested. Cool temps, winds, lure presentation.... Not certain but came away empty this trip.

Cottonwood Creek Trail

Checked out the pond at Cottonwood Creek Trail. Fished a Black Wooley Bugger in hopes of Bass. No luck. Only light nibbles that were most likely from the small Sunfish in the pond. Water was stained from the recent rains.
