14 Bass and 5 Bluegill at Stoney Hollow Park This Morning

Fished Stoney Hollow Park in Plano this morning. Bite was slow at first, picked up after a half-hour, then stayed steady until 10:30AM. Caught 14 Bass and 5 Bluegill. Largest Bass went about 13" and largest Bluegill went 8". No Bruiser Bass but these guys kept things interesting.

Used Olive Wooley Buggers, Olive Leeches, and a Crappie Jig Variant. Crappie Jig Variant seemed to be the hot fishing fly this round!

Bass and a Bluegill at Bethany Ridge Park

Fished Bethany Ridge Park this evening.  Really windy with some strong gusts to make matters worse.  Tough to cast with flyfishing gear but did manage to get a line out.  Caught three Bass and a Bluegill on Olive Wooley Buggers.  Largest Bass was ~12" in size; smallest Bass was just over 4" in size.  Did hook and lose three others.  Two fought like the 12" Bass, so did not expect them to be of bragging size.  One felt bigger - a possible Bruiser lurking....!

Two Bass But Lost a Bruiser!

Caught two Bass today at Bethany Lakes.  But, lost a Bruiser right after the hookset.  Line broke soon after making a 10 yard run.  Wondering if it was as big as the 7 Pounder caught in February.  Oh well, better luck next round!

Two Bass and Two Bluegill This Round!

Just got back from errands around town. One of which included a quick cast or two at Bethany Lakes. Caught two Bluegill and two Bass this round.

One Bass was caught on a Mickey Finn. The other Bass and the two Bluegills were caught on a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger. Sending pictures to the One Fishing Fly Challenge. This month's fishing fly is the Wooley Bugger!

Bass went 13" in size. Larger Bluegill went 8" in size. Good to know that the Bluegill are in the shallows and are building their nests!

Two Bass for April Fool's Day @ Bethany Lakes

Two Bass caught yesterday evening.  No Bruisers but had a number of hookups that were lost soon after.  Finally managed to bring these two in.  A little Bass, and then one even smaller.

5 Sunfish, 2 Bass, and a TURTLE?

Fished Bethany again.  Caught 5 Sunfish on a fishing fly bought at Scotty's One Stop Shop.  Not sure what it is called; looks like a little "bug" with a tail made of feathers.  Caught two Bass - one on a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger and the other on the "bug".  Then, foul hooked a Turtle.... All were released.

At Least One Trout Still Loose in Bethany Lakes!

Back to Bethany Lakes this evening. Bass were active in the shallows chasing minnows. Caught two on an Olive Wooley Bugger.

Met Texas Fishing Forum's Mr95 fishing for Bass on baitcasting gear. Watched him hook and land a nice Trout on a Shad Rap ... outstanding! Looks like at least one Trout is still lurking in the pond.

One Bluegill at Shawnee Park in Plano

Stopped by Shawnee Park in Plano to checkout the fish activity. Saw a few little Bass and caught one Bluegill on an Olive Wooley Bugger. Bass seemed slow and uninterested. May have caught a few more Bluegill but had to leave shortly after catching the one. Let's see how the action heats up as the weather warms up this week!
