1 Crappie Caught and 1 Bass Lost

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening. Caught a Crappie that went about 13" in size and lost a Bass that may have gone 2 lbs. All were caught in the Main Pond using a BH Oliver Wooley Bugger! Will post the picture with measurement as a "Fish Of Interest" on 2010's COAF Fishing Leader Board.

Fun On The Blue River; Caught Three Trout!

Fished the Blue River in Oklahoma for a chance at the Bruiser Trout stocked this past week! Was able to land three Stocker Trout (9"-10" in size), missed a bunch more, and watched a few others land some Bruisers. Great day, great weather, great River!

On The Road Today, Checked Out College Station's Central Park

While on the road today, made a stop in College Station and checked out the Trout action at Central Park. Was not able to fish but did take a picture of one fisherman's Trout in a cooler that went just over 12". Action looked promising with surface activity noted!

One Bass On A Slowwwww Retrieve....

Managed to make a quick trip to Bethany Lakes this evening. Hoped today's warmer temps would get the Bass in the Main Pond feeding. Not for certain but it did not seem so.  Action was slow but did manage to catch one Bass fishing an Olive Wooley Bugger. Used a very slowwwww retrieve....

Bethany Lakes A Bust This Evening!

Stopped by Bethany Lakes after work this evening.  No luck flyfishing a Crappie Jig Variant or an Olive Wooley Bugger.  Stopped by the "horseshoe" pond and noted zero surface activity; looks like the season may be over for Trout at Bethany.

Luckily, there are Trout Stockings planned for McKinney and Prosper.  Also, Waterloo in Denison continues to see action!  That said, really itching to hit the Blue River in Oklahoma.  Have an Oklahoma Fishing License and Trout Stamp, just need to make the run up there.

Till then, been enjoying updates and fishing reports on the Blue River from another avid fisherman/blogger.  Check it out some time - Drifting The Prairie Ocean!

Trout Limits at Waterloo; Field Team's First Limit for 2010!

Ran up to Denison Dam to scout out the Striped Bass action this afternoon. Fished without success for about 2 hours, then called it quits. Shifted gears from Striped Bass to Trout and fished Waterloo Park Pond. Limited out in about 30" using Orange Powerbait. Pond was frozen save for the area near the fountain. Regardless, the Trout were active and hungry. Not a bad outing with the first Trout Limit taken by the Field Team in 2010!

Season 'Bout Over...

Although a few weeks remain for this Duck Season, going to end it early for this Hunter.  That said, was not able to hunt Lake Lavon as we planned.



Unseen forces - work and personal committments, pulled us away.  Regardless, we feel others had an outstanding season!



Wishing our Readers all the best and will look to another good year in 2010!

Cold Weather Delay!

Cold weather delay in fishing reports.  Much too cold and getting colder this week for this fisherman.  Will startup again at the next opportunity!

Till then, going to catch up on some reading material.

Calm Before the Storm....

Decided to wet a line at Bethany this evening after work.  Cold with the expectation of even colder temps tomorrow.  Struck out with zero hits on flyfishing gear.  Regardless, got to practice casting.  Did see surface activity with Trout feeding on something other than my fishing fly! Going to let it rest for now given the change in weather.

First Fish for the Field Team in 2010...

Hit Bethany Lakes this morning for a quick trip to practice flycasting.  No luck with Trout but did manage to hook and land a little Bass using a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger under a strike indicator.  Slight strike but indicator made the difference! Even better, it is the first fish for the Field Team in 2010!
