Colder Than Yesterday!

Colder than yesterday.  Had to slow things down.  No Bass this round and only one little Bluegill.  Hope an uptick in the temps picks up the action!

White Wooley Bugger Does Well At Bethany This Afternoon!

Been tying Olive Wooley Buggers and fishing them with good results during the Spring and Summer. 

Took the advice from one of our Readers to try fishing a White Wooley Bugger.  So, stopped at Cabelas earlier today and picked up material to make them. 

Good thing!  Managed to catch and release nine Bass, a Bluegill, and a Sunfish this afternoon.  Fast retrieve and working the shallows were key today.

No Bruisers but still had a lot fun catching them!

Hand Poured Creature Gets Three Bass at Bethany!

Was able to make it to Bethany before it got dark today!  Fished a weightless Hand Poured Creature and managed to catch three Bass and lose another.  Slow retrieve and letting the lure free fall were key.  However, a front is arriving and rain may come with it.  Pattern may change again!

One Bass Finally....

Been more misses than hits these last two days.  Late starts and short trips have been the case yesterday and the day before.

On both occassions, not a fish was to be had.  It was promising yesterday when Bass were in the shallows actively chasing something.  Even had several look at a Hand Poured Creature and one nudge a Senko Worm.

Today was able to get one Bass finally.  Caught it at Bethany on an Olive Damsel Fly!

Busy, Busy, Busy,.... Hand Poured Plastics - Half-Quatro and Creature!

Busy, busy, busy day.  No time to go fishing, may be like this all week.  No worries....  Can still do things in preparation for fishing!  In this case, decided to mix up a batch of plastisol and make some Hand Poured Plastics.  Went with the Half-Quatro and the Creature.  Made this batch really soft; hope it makes a difference when the Bass bite!

One Little Bluegill

Had a late start today. But, did make it out.  Fished a Tenko Worm and had one Bass take a look at it.  Switched to an Antron Nymph and caught a little Bluegill. Then, had to call it quits early.

Fished Bethany... Little Bluegill and a Frisbee Golf!

Fished Bethany this afternoon. Struck out in the ponds, so switched to the creek below the Lower Pond.  Caught little Bluegill on an Antron Nymph.  Did "catch" a frisbee golf in about a foot of water!

Guadalupana and Tenkara Rod Gets a Bass at Bethany!

Fished Bethany Lakes' Waterfall this evening.  Only had a little time, so went with the Tenkara Rod and one fishing fly - a Guadalupana like we used on the Guadalupe River last year.  Water level was up from the recent rains and the water was flowing well in the Canal and the Waterfall.  Had a hookup on the second cast - a little Bass.  Good stuff!

Bluegill at Lunch!

Took a break at Lunch today and fished the feeder creek at Bethany. Caught a couple of Bluegill.  One really small one and one that went about 6" in size!  Both struck an Olive Wooley Bugger.



PS:  Went back to Bethany in the early evening.  Caught several small Bluegill in the Canal.  Used the Tenkara Rod and an Antron Nymph.  No Bruisers; still had fun catching them.  Was planning to make a short video clip to post but mistakenly deleted the video while transferring to the laptop.
