September 15, 2009 - Evening Teal Hunt @ Lake Lavon

Decided to make a quick trip to Lake Lavon for a go at Teal. Saw two flocks. Passed on the first flock, went for the second one. MISSED! Need to work on pass shooting at the Skeet Range....

Olive is the Key!

Quick trip to Bethany Lakes this morning. Caught two Bass on an Olive Damsel Fly; ran out of Olive Wooley Buggers. Tried a Black Olive Wooley Bugger. No hits, switch to the Olive Damsel Fly - Hits! Looks like Olive is the key. Click-on COAF Fishing Leader Board to checkout top fish caught this year by our readers.

Rainy Morning.... Caught 18 Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger

Decided to put on rain gear and fish Bethany Lakes. Good thing because the fish were on the prowl. Caught eighteen Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger and only lost one Bass while landing it this time. Mostly little Bass but two did go 13+" in size.

FYI: While walking back to the car, was confronted by a feisty Crawdad crossing the sidewalk. So wet, the Crawdads are using the sidewalks! Click-on COAF Fishing Leader Board to checkout top fish caught this year by our readers.

Wet Morning But Fish Were Active At Bethany

Wet morning but the fish were active. Caught five Bass and one Sunfish on an Olive Wooley Bugger. Did lose four other Bass; set the hook but fish came off while landing. No Bruisers, still fun! Click-on COAF Fishing Leader Board to checkout top fish caught this year by our readers.

Bethany Lakes Revisted Again

Fished Bethany Lakes again this morning. Caught one little Bass on a Black Rooster Tail. Hooked but lost another Bass that looked about 2 pounds. Fish were in the shallows close to shore but were mainly small ones with an occasional 10" to 11" Bass mixed in.

Olive Wooley Bugger Works Again at Bethany

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning. Caught five Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger; took pictures of four. A lot of surface activity this morning; looked like the Bass were feeding on small minnows near the bank. Olive Wooley Bugger works again at Bethany!

Russel Creek Park Pond and Dragonflies?

Checked out Russell Creek Park Pond in Plano this morning. Caught a Sunfish, two Bass, and a Bluegill on fishing flies. Did see a number of Bass (looked like 1 to 2 pounders) feeding on the Dragonflies hovering over the water's surface. They were leaping completely out of the water. Too bad, I did not have a fishing fly that could simulate a Dragonfly hovering a foot above the water! Click-on COAF Fishing Leader Board to checkout top fish caught this year by our readers.
