Quick Trip To Bethany This Round

Been practicing fly casting the past few days at Bethany.  This round improved on the double haul and roll casts.  Even caught a Bluegill, a Sunfish, and a little Bass!  Fun stuff!

Bite Was On This Morning

Fished the morning bite at Frisco Commons. Trout were active, rising and feeding on the surface.  Brought the 8-WT Flyrod this time to help gain more distance on the cast.

Quickly caught a limit of Trout using a Size 12 Guadalupana.  Then, did some catch and release fishing... had catches using a Size 12 Guadalupana, Size 10 White Guadalupana, and then a Size 12 GRHEN!

Fun stuff... even better, made for a tasty Sunday Brunch!

Trout Bite Was On at Frisco Today!

Frisco hosted their annual Trick or Trout Derby today.  Missed the derby but was able to fish the  afternoon before the rain arrived.  Was a tough go at first with the cold and wind. But, did manage to limit out!

Started casting the Four Weight Fly Rod despite the strong wind. Caught a little Stocker Trout and a little Bluegill.  Also, had several missed strikes.

Switched to Powerbait and caught one Trout, then noticed the Trout started rising and schools were working the surface around the fountain.

Changed to a Copper Super Duper, added split-shot for more casting weight, and then casted for distance.  Was able to limit out fairly quickly.

Fun stuff... saw others catching them on Super Dupers, Rooster Tails, Corn, and Powerbait.  Action should be good for the next few days weather permitting!

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!
