Morning At The Village....

Fished at the Village this morning.  Slow action but did get three Bass.  No Bruisers... did get a lot of missed strikes though.  Caught them all on an Olive/Red Deer Hair Bug.  Tied it with a Size 4 Hook.  May need to go to a Size 6 like the Red and White Popper that we picked up at Cabelas.

Struck Out Last Night...!

Struck out last night at Auburn Springs and Kroger Park. Hope to turn this trend around over the 3-Day Weekend... hopefully! Tied a Deer Hair Bug to replace the Red and White Surface Popper lost while fishing Stoney Hollow the other day. Tied using a similar sized hook as the Red and White Surface Popper. Should be able to handle a Bruiser or two!

Update:  Fished Stoney Hollow Park and caught two Bass on the Surface Popper.  Had a number of missed strikes.  And, had a water snake check out one of the Bass.  Had pictures of the Bass and the water snake... but erased them by accident. 

Stoney Hollow Park... Bass Go For the Surface Popper, Too!

Stopped by Stoney Hollow Park in Plano to fish the pond.  Had not been there in a while but was pleasantly surprised that the Bass were liking the Surface Popper, too!  Only bad thing... lost the Red and White Deer Hair Bug after a Bass wrapped the line around a snag.  Good to have the back up Green and White Deer Hair Bug.

Deer Hair Popper Works Out Well at Kroger Park!

Went to Kroger Park this evening and fished with the Deer Hair Popper.  Surface action was good with Bass readily taking the fly!  Caught four but missed more... slow reflexes, bad eyes, aging,... any excuse for missing a strike.  Lotta fun regardless!

Six Bass This Evening On a Deer Hair Bug Surface (Popper)!

Went to the Village and fished the pond behind In-And-Out Burger.  Another opportunity to try the Red and White Deer Hair Bug (Surface Popper).  Caught six Bass; no Bruisers this round.  But, was fun again to catch them on the fly!

Caught One Skinny Bass on a Surface Popper Last Night.

Late post... caught one skinny Bass that struck a Surface Popper we picked up at Cabelas yesterday.  Went with Red and White Deer Hair in Size 6.  Took it on a slow retrieve with a lot of starts and stops.  Had several other strikes but were likely little Bass and Bluegill nipping at the Popper.  Fun to catch them on the surface, fun to catch them on flyfishing gear, ready for more fun when a Bruiser takes the Popper!

Surface Poppers on the Fly....

Went to Cabelas to pick up some Deer Hair Surface Poppers.  Since the Hula Popper and Jitterbug topwater lures worked well, decided to try the Surface Poppers made for Fly Fishing.  Will see how they work out first chance we get...!

Flies Did Well At the Village This Morning....

Fished the Village in Allen this morning; went with the flyrod and fishing flies.  Tough go again with the wind but managed to get a few casts in.  Caught seven Bass and one Bluegill.  Lost a Bruiser Bass though; fought it for about a minute before it shook the fly off!  Oh well, better luck next time.

PS:  Used a BH Olive Wooley Bugger, a Deer Hair Bug, and a Damsel Fly.  Deer Hair Bug seemed to be the fly of choice this round.

Morning Outing Was Tough With Windy Conditions...

Wind made it rough to fish Bethany this morning.  Did catch a little Bluegill on a Wooley Bugger using the Tenkara Rod.  Switched to Ultralight Gear and Rooster Tails.  Caught three little Bass and lost two others while reeling them in.  No plans to fish this evening though... headed to Celebration Park to watch the Fireworks!
