Three Sunfish For the One Fishing Fly Challenge!

Caught three Sunfish on a Crappie Jig Variant Fishing Fly.  Submitted them for the One Fishing Fly Challenge.  Largest went almost 5".  Oh well, not the 7 pound Bass from the other day.  Will keep on trying!

Personal Best LMB - 7 Pounder Caught At Bethany Lakes!

Decided to prepare for next month's One Fishing Fly Challenge by fishing a Crappie Jig Variant Fishing Fly. The Field Team decided on the Crappie Jig Variant Fishing Fly because the Crappie, White Bass (Sandies), and Bass action will be heating up in March!

Tied a pattern used by Texas Fishing Forum's Tarponfly for Crappie and White Bass on Rowlett Creek. Made a slight variation due to the lack of tying material.

Looks like the pattern worked this afternoon. Caught a 16" Bass, and soon followed with a personal best Bass that went ~23" and 7lbs (as weighed using a Zebco Deliar)!

Slower Action Than Last Week But Managed A Limit At Frisco Commons!

Fished Frisco Commons this morning. Bite was slower than last week but managed to limit out on Trout in about 2.5 hours. Used Powerbait in Pink and Orange with three caught on Pink and two on Orange!

Stopped By Towne Lake.

Stopped by Towne Lake in McKinney this morning.  No one was fishing and observed little activity.  Better bet for Trout would be Frisco Commons or tommorow at Denison's Waterloo Pond!

Denison Dam Tailrace Generating But...

Stopped by Denison Dam Tailrace this afternoon.  A little misty and definitely cold.  No one  was fishing.  Did see a few folks warming up by a bonfire on the Oklahoma side, else it looked like everyone was waiting for the action to start.  Wanted to stay and hopefully see a few fish caught but work was calling and had to get back on the road.

Pan-Fried Trout!

Trout caught this past weekend have since gone away with breakfast!  Going to have to hit another pond and maybe pull in another limit.  Simple recipe calls for Salt, Pepper, and Season Salt, and then 10" per side.  Makes for crispy rib bones that won't worry you!

Limits Taken At Frisco Commons Despite Weather!

Fished Frisco Commons this afternoon. Nice park and pond. A little misty at times; regardless, fish were active with a number of limits taken by fishermen. Managed a limit as well using Powerbait - 4 caught using Orange and 1 caught using Chartreuse!

Pond in Sunnyvale

Was out and about Saturday.  Managed to scout a pond at Samuell Farm North Park in Sunnyvale.  Looks promising. A lot of birdlife around the area and nice walking trails.

Interesting... Bullhead on a Midge Fishing Fly!

Received another One Fishing Fly Challenge entry.  Interesting catch; a Bullhead taken on a Midge fishing fly!

Looks like this one goes to the top of the list, measuring just over 7.5" in size. Great job NucLaroche! (see latest entries for Feb'10)

Slow Go At Bethany Ridge Park Pond

Zeke stopped by Bethany Ridge Park Pond this evening to post his entry into the One Fishing Fly Challenge.  Result: One small Bluegill taken on a Zebra Midge in Size 22.  Else, no other strikes; too cold for the fish in the pond.

Overall, snow and cold  temperatures this month have made for tough fishing.  Even tougher when fishing with Midge fishing flies.  Small is the norm, at least for February.

PS:  We debated about posting this one but given only two fish caught on Midges this round, we decided to post it!  Be forewarned, it is a SMALL Bluegill (see entries as of 18 Feb'10)
