One Bass After Awhile At Stoney Hollow.

Planned to fish Waterloo in Denison for Trout this morning but the rain called the trip short.  Decided to fish Stoney Hollow in Plano to see if the Bass were active.

Slow action with no strikes the first hour.  Second hour had several strikes on the Crappie Jig Variant but kept losing them when the fishing fly pulled out while bring them in.

Switched to an Olive Wooley Bugger in size 8 and was finally able to bring one little Bass to shore.  Does not make the One Fishing Fly Challenge but still a catch!

Slow Action,... Only One Sunfish

Hit Bethany Lakes again.  Slow action with only one Sunfish caught.  Had a few more strikes but failed to set the hook in time; one of which was a little Bass.  Used the Crappie Jig Variant fishing fly, so submitting this one for the One Fishing Fly Challenge.  Sunfish went just over 6.5".

One Bass and Three Sunfish On A Crappie Jig Variant

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening.  Slow action with zero strikes the first hour, then as dusk settled, was able to catch one Bass that went 8" in size and three small Sunfish.  Going to submit the little Bass to the One Fishing Fly Challenge.  Small but it takes the lead for for now!

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)!

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.
