Fishing on the Fly at Celebration

Checked out the North Pond at Celebration Park yesterday.  Noticed a lot of fish activity the day before, so decided to try a Streamer and a Dry Fly.  Caught a few Sunfish and Bluegill on the Streamer; caught more on the Dry Fly!  Lost count but would say 30+ were caught and released.  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun!

Fly Fished Bethany This Round

Fished Bethany this evening using Fly Fishing Gear and a Streamer Variant.  Caught several Bass, little Sunfish, and a Bluegill.  Water level is low.  Also, found out that Lake Lavon has only one public boat ramp open - Little Ridge Park.  Looks like kayak fishing and trot lining are on hold for now.  Hope rain comes soon!

Crappie Jigs This Round

Went to Bethany this morning.  Started out with a Crappie Jig and Trout Magnet on a tandem rig.  Noticed the fish were going for the Crappie Jig, so switched to just a Crappie Jig.  Caught several using a steady retrieve, then noticed the Bass were chasing bait fish in the shallows; started going with a fast retrieve and caught more.  Later noticed the Bass were going for the bait fish balling up along a deeper section of the Main Pond, so started dropping the jig where the bait fish were balling up and caught a few more Bass.  Lots of fun. No Bruisers but still a great time!

Lake Lavon Water is Low....

Bad news... the 2013-2014 Duck Season is on hold for the Field Team.  Lake Lavon water level is low; our favorite access points are no longer open nor hold water.  Will need to wait and hope for more rain!

Rainy Morning... Bite Was Steady!

Rained this morning; was a good thing.  Noticed the Back Pond's water level has risen; other ponds are still low though.  Caught mainly Sunfish and Bluegill; did get some Bass as well.  All on Trout Magnets and an Ultralight. Fun stuff!

Russell Creek Park Pond This Afternoon!

Fished Russell Creek Park Pond in the heat of the day.  Was a tough go with a few hits using the Guadalupana and a Dry Fly.  Then, switched to the Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph and a slow retrieve.  Caught a number of Bluegill and Sunfish and several fingerling Bass.  Overall, was a fun time!

30" Quick Trip This Afternoon

Fished Bethany this afternoon.  Went with the Trout Magnet and the Ultralight this time.  Caught mainly little Sunfish, a Bluegill, and two Bass.  One Bass was about fingerling size; the other went about 13".  Fun stuff... did notice that most were striking at the end of the retrieve.

Only One Keeper This Morning!

Fished Clear Lake this morning with the kayak.  Tried drifting for Catfish with Shad; had two nibbles but no hook ups.  Switched to a Slab and Jig Rig and had one take but failed to set the hook well.

Kept at it; a White Bass struck but was not a Keeper. Went another 30"; another struck.  It was a Keeper.  Only two White Bass this round with only one Keeper. Still a fun time!
