"River Why" Tip Comes Through!
Went back to Kroger Park this afternoon for a go at the Catfish. Brought Ultralight Gear and Bread for bait. Unfortunately, struck out miserably. Not a bite at all.
Did see Bluegill and Bass working the shallows. A quick check of the gear on hand... an Ultralight Spinning Rod/Reel, Bread, Hooks, and an Olive Wooley Bugger found on the floorboard of the truck.
Taking a tip from the movie "River Why", wrapped the Olive Wooley Bugger with Bread (mud was used in the movie) and casted the fly using the Ultralight Gear. Shortly after casting the Wooley Bugger, the Bread broke apart and was able to fish the fly!
Caught one Bass and a Bluegill, hooked but lost two other Bass. Not a bad outing saved by a piece of Bread!

Two Bass and a Sunfish at Kroger Park This Evening.
Fished Kroger Park this evening. Caught two Bass on an Olive Crawdad and then a Sunfish on a Yellow Grasshopper Variant. Did see some Bruiser Catfish feeding on leftover bread that someone had left after feeding the ducks. Had several hookups on them but could not keep on the hook long enough to land them!

Cool Temps Make for a Comfortable Outing To Bethany!
Cool temps made for a great reason to go fishing. Went with Flyfishing Gear again despite the strong winds. Fished an Olive Crawdad and caught one Bass, several Sunfish, a decent Shellcracker, and a Turtle....

Flyfishing at the Village Producing Bass
Fished the Village this morning with Flyfishing Gear. Tied on an Olive Crawdad Fly and caught a Bass on the first cast, then lost the Fly to a breakoff on another Bass. Murphy's Law came in to play as the only Crawdad Fly we had was the one lost to the breakoff. Tied on a Bead Head Olive Wooley Bugger and caught two Bass of which one was actively chasing baitfish in the shallows. Fun stuff... especially with the cooler temps!

Been Away But Made It To Kroger Park This Evening!
Was able to break away from the "Salt Mines" this evening. Opted for a quick trip to Kroger Park and Flyfishing Gear. Caught mainly Bluegill and one Bass but did see a few Bruisers working the shallows.... too bad they were not interested in a Deer Hair Bug, Wooley Bugger, Damselfly, Clouser Minnow,....

Kroger Park - Bluegill and a Bass.
Stopped by Kroger Park this morning to flex a flyrod and to see if the lower water levels and hot temps have affected the action. Water is low but luckily the fountain has been running and has kept things relatively cool. Managed a few Bluegill and one little Bass. Did see fish working the shallows in the shaded areas... none wanted a fishing fly though. Bluegill struck Dry Flies; Bass went for the Purple Damsel Fly!

Emotion Spitfire Kayak Makes Good With Kayak Fishing At Lake Lavon....
Been a bear lately with our day jobs, especially with the new kayak sitting in the garage instead of on the water! Finally found a break in the schedule and took it out to Lake Lavon. Had not been to the Lake lately... soon found that the ramps at Brockdale, Highland Park, and Bratonia were closed. Luckily, Ticky Creek remains open and was able to launch the kayak.
Was easy to launch the little 8' kayak. Light to carry, stable on the water, and easy to paddle. Was not a problem trolling a Yellow Crappie Jig on a flatline. Ended up catching three little White Bass. Not bad for the Spitfire's first fishing trip!
