Slow But Steady Action At Denison Dam!

Fished Denison Dam Tailrace today with NucLaroche.  Slow but steady action made the heat bearable.  Started around 8:30AM, left around 2:30PM.  Caught little Stripers using Shad for bait.  Did land a skinny one that went 17.5" in size.  Else, the sizes ranged from 12" to 16" in size.   Strikes were tentative and light with a number running in on the line.  Did try Cork and Jig Rigs but without a hit.  Did observe one group leaving with a nice stringer.  Stripers are there....!

Bruisers On The Prowl... Just Not Liking the Pattern Used!

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning. Water level was up from the recent rains. A lot of activity near the banks and in the shallows. Bruisers were on the prowl, too bad they did not like the pattern used. At least the Bluegill did though; caught on Spiders and Olive Wooley Buggers.

Bethany Lakes This Evening... 4 Bluegill, 1 Sunfish, and 4 Bass!

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening using the Yellow Grasshopper.  Caught four Bluegill, one Sunfish, and four Bass.  No Bruisers but a lot of activity in the shallows!  Gotta remember to start casting well away from the bank before approaching quietly.  Scared a few Bruisers that were chasing baitfish in the shallows.

Caught a Bruiser Catfish at Celebration Park This Morning!

Stopped by Celebration Park this morning to get a round of fishing in.  Caught several Catfish using Bread for bait.  Action was slow but steady with consistent strikes till about 8AM.  Highlight of the morning was a Bruiser Catfish that went just over 22" in size and 5.5 pounds in weight! Submitted a picture to the COAF Fishing Leader Board; definitely met the 15" minimum to post!

Frustration At Celebration Park's East Pond

Stopped by Celebration Park's East Pond to try out the Bread Fly - a pattern offered by Pondbass' Fly Shop Webstore! 

Caught a small Sunfish, then a 12" Catfish using the fishing fly.  Had more bites, then lost the fly to a Bruiser Catfish.  Was a nice run while it lasted, will have to purchase another one.

Did switch to Bread for bait and caught three more Catfish.  Also, lost several Bruisers; just could not set the hook or keep them on long enough to land them.

Fun day, regardless of the frustration of losing a fishing fly and missing out on some Bruisers!

Twenty Caught and Released @ Bethany Lakes Using a Yellow Grasshopper!

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening.  Decided to see how the Yellow Grasshopper would work in the rainy weather.  It worked...!

Caught and released twenty fish - six Bass and fourteen Bluegill/Sunfish.  Bass ranged from a little 8" Bass to a couple of 14" Bass.  Bruisers were working the shallows, had several strikes but no hookups.  Need faster reflexes to get those Bruisers!
