Bite Was On After Dark at Bethany

Fished Bethany this evening.  Was a little bit cold but luckily the Bass were going for the Green Grasshopper Variant.  Caught three Bass; no Bruisers but was still fun.  Decided to keep fishing after dark as something was feeding on the surface.  Turned out to be Bluegill and a surprise - a White Bass!  Lotta fun... Going to play tomorrow by ear; likely will checkout the Trout at Frisco Commons tomorrow!

Steady Bite at Bethany

A little windy this evening but made a go for Bethany.  Was a steady bite of Bluegill using the Green Grasshopper Variant and the Guadalupana!  Fun stuff on the Four Weight Fly Rod!

Pattern Changed....

Tied a White Damsel Fly Variant and tested it out a Bethany.  Had one Bluegill take it solid, and then had others strike but no hookups.  Switched to a White Grasshopper Variant and had a few more strikes, then called it quits at Bethany.  Went across the street to Bethany Ridge and hooked a few Bluegill and Shellcracker.  Pattern changed; suspect the cool front had something to do with it.  Still had a fun time!

Bethany This Evening; Went with the Grasshopper.

Tied a White Caddis Dry Fly and fished Bethany this evening in hopes of another go at the Bluegill.  Turned out they did not want it; however, two Bass and two Bluegill went for the Foam Rubber Spider Variant (or Grasshopper) that worked yesterday.  Also missed two Bass as we closed out this round.  Fun stuff!

Bluegill and Bass at Bethany This Evening

Tied a Caddis Antron Nymph and headed to Bethany Lakes for a go at the Bluegill.  As it turned out, the Bass preferred a White Guadalupana instead.  Missed one Bass, and then caught three Bass from the Main Pond.  Then, switched to a White Foam Rubber Spider Variant and started catching Bluegill and one more Bass on the surface!  Great top water action!

Bluegills and Shellcrackers This Round!

Was able to sneak away and fish again this afternoon.  Decided to fish Bethany Ridge (Kroger Park) this round.  Used the 4-WT Flyrod and the Guadalupana and caught Bluegills and Shellcrackers!  Fish were lurking about 30'-40' from shore and were taking the fishing fly lightly. Guessing about 15+ fish caught and released!  Fun stuff!

Cold Morning; One Sunfish This Round

Fished Bethany this morning.  Cold morning with temps in the mid-30's.  Caught one Sunfish on a White Guadalupana; missed several others.  Really light strikes made it tough to set the hook despite using a 4-Weight Flyrod.  Things started to pick up by the time we left; Bass were beginning to chase baitfish in the shallows.  Had several missed strikes using an Olive Wooley Bugger.  May have to sneak away later and try for the Bass again!

Kroger Park Then Bethany Lakes Today!

Checked out White Rock Creek this morning.  Did a little scouting along one of the feeder creeks with no success.

Decided to head back to Allen, then fished Kroger Park.  Caught Bluegill and saw a Bruiser Bass looking like it was getting a spawning bed ready.

After catching a few Bluegill, went across the street to Bethany Lakes and managed one Bass and a Sunfish!

Used the Guadalupana, Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph, and a Red Midge to catch the Bluegill.  Used an Olive Wooley Bugger to get the Bass and the Sunfish.

Great day today; fun stuff!
