Foam Beetle Does Well Again!

Busy day but managed to make it for a quick trip to Bethany before dark.  Caught four Bass and a Bluegill using a Foam Beetle!  Bass continue to feed on the "bugs" flying about.

Six Bass and a Bluegill this Evening

Made it to Bethany this evening.  Was hoping for another try at the Koi in the Back Pond.  Sight fished to one for a while with no success.  Shifted to a White Grasshopper Variant and caught a couple of Bass and missed several more.  Then, switched to a Yellow Foam Beetle and had more fun catching Bass and a Bluegill.  Only six Bass and a Bluegill this round.  But, was a lot of fun catching them on surface,... even had one jump clear out of the water to take the Beetle!  Missed a lot more than were hooked and landed.

A Couple of Bass at Bethany, but Lost a Big One!

Quick trip to Bethany after work this evening.  Caught a couple of Bass on a White Damsel Fly but lost a big one.... a big Koi went for a Deer Hair Bug!  Will need to tie more Deer Hair Bugs.

More Fun Fishing an Ultralight and Roostertails

Rain stopped after dinner; decided to rig up the Ultralight with a White Roostertail and head to Bethany.  Caught six Bass working the banks.  Most were caught within 5 feet of the shore.  Even better, water level is up so spent more time fishing than clearing the lure of algae!

More Bruiser Bluegill at the Village and a few Bass

Decided to hit the Village again before the rain arrived.  Slower action compared to yesterday but was still a good time.  Caught more Bruiser Bluegill (8" or better in length) and Bass.  All struck the Guadalupana!

Ultralight Spinning Gear and a Roadrunner Worked Well at Bethany this Evening

Fished Bethany this evening to round out today's fishing activities.  Had a lot of fun catching Bass at the Village on Flyfishing Gear.  Switched to Ultralight Spinning Gear for this round!  Started out with a Roadrunner.  Spent more time clearing algae, then fishing.  Looks like the warm temps has the "greenery" growing in and out of the water.  Switched to a 1/16 oz Black Roostertail with a silver blade and started getting strikes and hookups!  Key today was to fish areas clear of algae or    where the algae remained submerged.  Then, worked the Roostertail using a slow retrieve that kept the blade spinning but fast enough to keep the lure above the submerged algae.  Also, holding the rod tip high and polarized sunglasses helped keeping the lure clear!

Village Holding Well... Bass and Bruiser Bluegill!

Stopped by the Village for a go at the Bass.  Fished a Guadalupana, BH Olive Wooley Bugger, and Brown Damsel Fly Variant.  Caught several Bass on the Guadalupana but ended up losing it when a Bruiser struck!  Went with the Wooley Bugger and caught more Bass and then lucked in to some Bruiser Bluegill,... largest ones went 8.5" with wide bodies giving them extra heft!  Ended the outing with one more Bass on the Damsel Fly Variant.  Glad to see the Village made it through last season's drought conditions.  PS: Since the Bluegill met the minimum 8" length, have posted them on the COAF Leader Board!

Quick Trip To Bethany This Evening

Quick trip to Bethany this evening given a late start.  Fished a Foam Beetle and caught a little Bass and a Sunfish.  Lost the Beetle to a snag... switched to a White Grasshopper Variant and caught two more Bass.  No Bruisers but was fun catching them on the surface!

Two Sunfish and Two Bass This Round

Lots of rain yesterday, so no fishing.  No rain today, so went fishing!  Caught two Sunfish and two Bass on a White Damsel Fly Variant.  Fish were there but the action seemed slower than the other day.

Caught Several Fish with a White Damsel Fly Variant!

Caught several fish at Bethany using a White Damsel Fly Variant.  Brought the Three Weight Fly Rod that we picked up from Cabelas last year.  Was happy to hook and land three Bluegill/Sunfish and three Bass.

Even happier that the Three Weight handled an 8" Bluegill/Shellcracker(?) Hybrid, a skinny 15" Bass, and an 18.5" Bass.  All three made the minimum for the COAF Fishing Leader Board!  Moreover, the 18.5" Bass takes second in the One Fishing Fly Challenge!  Soon to be bumped by others we hope!
