Field Team Gets Two Limits!

Fished the morning bite and limited out on Trout using a GRHEN!  Caught them by sight casting to risers as schools passed by.  Missed a lot more either when bring them in or right after they struck the fishing fly.

Came back with fishing buddy "T-Bone", and baited up with Powerbait Yellow Glitter Garlic.  Managed a limit in about 30"!

While walking back to the parking area stopped by the pier to checkout the action.  Trout were there,... just very picky about what they wanted.  Did notice them readily taking Bread.  May need to try freelining Bread next round!

PS:  Two Limits for Dinner!

Fishing Flies Worked This Round!

Went to Bethany Lakes this morning and brought the Fly Fishing Gear.  Had tried Wooley Buggers earlier in the week.  Had one strike but did not land any.  Several years ago they were going for Black Midges and Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymphs (GRHENs).  So, what was in the fly box this time... Black Midges and GRHENs.

Good thing... had several Trout take the Dry Fly but either missed the hookset or came off the hook while reeling it in.  Was finally able to get one to stay on the hook long enough to land it.  Then, decided to switch to the GRHEN.  Had several strikes and misses, then landed two before losing the fishing fly.  Called it a morning with plans to stop by at lunch time.

Returned at lunch time and was able to get two more to complete a limit.  Caught them using the GRHEN!  Fun stuff... posted a video clip.  No action shots and had trouble pronouncing Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph; regardless, it was fun catching them on the fly!

Slower Morning But Did Limit Out!

Fished Bethany this morning for another round with the Rainbow Trout.  Trout continue to be active on the surface (at least in the morning).  Was able to limit out using Super Dupers.  

Missed a few but managed to get five in about 40".  Two went for the Copper Super Duper and three went for the Gold Super Duper.  Did have one take a Silver Kastmaster but it soon came off the hook while reeling it in!  Fun stuff!

15 Minute Quick Trip To Bethany!

Action was steady this morning with a limit of Rainbow Trout caught on Copper Super Dupers!  Took only 15 minutes; fish were schooling and readily chasing lures.  Fun stuff!

PS:  Stopped by this evening to checkout the action.  Looked like some were catching them.  A lot of surface action with Super Dupers continuing to be the lure of choice.  Had two missed strikes on an Olive Wooley Bugger and a hookup on a Super Duper.  Did get checked by the Game Warden, so do be sure to have your fishing license.

Bethany Lakes Received Trout Stocking Today!

Bethany received its Trout Stocking today!  Checked it out at lunch time and managed a limit in about 15" once we located them.  Caught four on a Copper Super Duper and one on a Gold Super Duper. Steady retrieve just below the surface worked this round.  Fun stuff!

Two Fishing; Two Limited Out!

Could not stay away; fished the Blue River yesterday - Friday 30 November.  Made it to the River with a Buddy.  Two went fishing; two limited out!  Yellow Powerbait with the Glitter and Garlic worked well.

Back To The Blue!

Made a day trip to the Blue River yesterday (11/29).  Caught two on a Wooley Bugger in the morning, then one on a Powerbait later in the day.  Slow day with lots of fish "eyeing" our fishing flies.  Managed to limit out the last 30" of the trip using Powerbait.
