Out and About Today

Nice day today. Decided to fish Bethany Ridge Park (also called Kroger Park).  Caught little Bluegill using a Guadalupana and then a Zebra Midge.

Then, went across the street to Bethany Lakes.  Caught one Sunfish in the canal; tried the Lower Pond, Main Pond, and Back Pond without a strike.

Finally, went to Davis Library in Plano and caught more Bluegill.  Did see some Bass lurking but were unwilling to strike our fishing fly.  However, one young fisherman caught a Bass using a Wacky-Rigged Plastic Worm!

Fun stuff!

More Fun at Waterloo!

Fished Waterloo this morning.  Trout were active.  Caught four Trout, fell in the water, then caught one more to make a limit.  Caught and released more;  all went for a fishing fly - Guadalupana!

Did get a few underwater camera shots; even got some action shots of the fall! Glad the camera is waterproof; had lost it in the pond for about 10" before recovering it while it was still filming.

Sunfish at Davis Library Pond

Stopped by the pond by Davis Library to see if fish were biting despite the cold temps.  They were... Sunfish were taking a Olive Wooley Bugger drifted slowly! Was not able to fish for long but did manage five with one that went about 7"-8" in size!  Fun stuff!

More Fun at Waterloo

Too nice a day... went back to Waterloo for more fun catching Trout.  Limited out with five Trout.  Also, caught and released a good number as well.  Trout were actively feeding; action was fast and steady.  Saw a number of limits taken on Corn, Powerbait, Powerbait Worms, and Super Dupers!

In our case, used the Four Weight Fly Rod/Reel and caught them on the Guadalupana and a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph.  Did get strikes with an Olive Wooley Bugger is size 10 but tended to miss the hookset.  Had more success using the size 12 - 2X Streamer Hook that we use to tie the Guadalupana and the size 14 Scud Hook that we use for the GRHEN.

Still editing the video; will plan to post as soon as possible.

Update:  Video of the action:

Long Day....

Fished River Park earlier today.  Caught one Trout using Powerbait; others were doing well using Power Worms.  Saw a number of Bruisers caught; really like the size Trout the Water District stocks in the river!

Later in the day, went to Denison and caught four more Trout to make a limit.  Trout stocked this  round were larger than earlier stocking in the pond.  Then, did some catch and release fishing; lost count but caught and released a Trout on every other cast for an hour.  Even left them biting.

Took some video, will post later... was a long day, too tired to edit the video.  Still had a great time on a nice day to be outside!

Update:  Here is the Video.

Quick Trip to Bethany... 2013

Made it to Bethany Lakes for a quick trip this morning.  Gotta chance to try the new Four Weight Flyrod/Reel we picked up from Cabelas.  Bite was slow but steady with a little Bass and several Sunfish caught before a cold front arrived!  Used the Guadalupana to catch them this round; same fishing fly that worked on the Trout at Waterloo last weekend.

Tough Go Trying To Fish....

Been a tough go trying to fish lately. Bad weather, the day job, and yes... pneumonia has slowed things down.  Worse yet, have not been able to try out a new Four Weight Fly Rod that we picked up from Cabelas.  Looks really good with the Ross Fly Reel!  Now just gotta go fishing with it.

Two Limits at Waterloo to Start 2013!

Made it to Waterloo in Denison today for some trout fishing.  Pond was stocked recently with more Rainbow Trout!

Fshng84 used the Ross Fly Reel we picked up from Cabelas the other day and mounted it on a Three Weight Rod. NucLaroche opted for an Ultralight Spinning Rod/Reel.

Two of us fished, and two of us limited out. One limit was caught using a Guadalupana; other one was caught using Rainbow Powerbait.  Fun stuff... great way to start the new year!

Ross Fly Reel

Been having a hard time getting out to go fishing.  Weather has been the main contributor as well as a personal commitments that require attention.  Did sneak out to Cabelas and looked for a few clearance deals.  Managed to pick up a 3/4 Weight Ross Fly Reel for $56 much better than the listed $80 price!
