20+ Bluegill Flyfishing At Glendover Park,... and a Little Bass!

Fished Glendover Pond.  Been awhile since we fished the pond.  Caught mainly Bluegill but did get a little Bass.  Bluegill were hitting on Dry Flies, Foam Rubber Spiders, and Wooley Buggers.  Bass was caught on an Olive Crawdad.  Do know there are some Bruisers lurking in the pond but none caught this round.  Also, while there, observed several nice looking Catfish caught using Bread for bait!

Windy Day, Managed One Bass at Bethany Lakes

Been wanting to practice casting with the surfcasting gear for awhile. Decided to go for it today as the wind was gusting to 40+ mph. Rigged a Jig and Float Rig and hit Bethany Lakes.  Fun stuff,... managed some long distance cast by taking advantage of the wind.  Even caught a little Bass!

More Fun Catching Fish At Bethany With The Tenkara Rod!

More fun catching fish at Bethany Lakes with the Tenkara Rod.  Worked the weedline with an Olive Crawdad and the surface with a White Foam Spider.  Bass targeted the Olive Crawdad and the Bluegill were happy with the Foam Spider.  Largest fish was a Bass that went 13.5" in size!

7 Bass, 7 Bluegill, and 3 Sunfish At Bethany,...

Fished Bethany Lakes again this evening.  Staying with the Tenkara Rod because it works well fishing the weedline that parallels the bank!  Caught seven Bass, seven Bluegill, and three Sunfish.  Started out with the Olive Crawdad and did well catching Bass but lost it to a snag.  Switched to a Purple Damsel Fly and began hooking more Sunfish.  Later switched to a White Foam Spider and had fun with Bluegill on the surface!

9" Bluegill On a Damsel Fly This Morning!

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning.  Made it before the winds kicked up.  Had some fun Tenkara Fishing with the highlight being a Bruiser Bluegill that went 9" in size! Also, caught Sunfish and Bass - largest Bass went about 12" in size. Fun stuff, catching them on light tackle and a minimum of gear - "a fly, a line, and rod"!

4 Bass and 5 Sunfish On The Purple Damsel Fly!

Stopped by Auburn Springs (South) to test the waters using the Tenkara Rod.  Worked the bank and the feeder creek; caught and released 4 Bass and 5 Sunfish.  Largest Bass went 16" in size!  Fun stuff, even after losing a larger Bass than the 16 incher!  Still liking the Tenkara Rod and the ability to work the pond banks and small feeder creeks.
