Gotta Keep Our Day Jobs...

Gotta keep our day jobs, so lately it's been tough getting out to go fishing.  No worries; there is always something to do related to fishing.  This time, why not make a few fishing flies!  Here is one COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly tied tonight.  Hope to use it again some time in the near future... possibly this weekend!

Fished Central Park Pond in College Station

Fished Central Park Pond this afternoon.  Was in the area, so decided to fish the pond in College Station.  Heard the pond is stocked weekly (or was it bi-weekly) with Trout!

Bite was slow but did manage to get a couple of strikes.  Just could not close the deal and land them.  Did see others catching Trout and an occasional Catfish!  Fun stuff... from the looks of them, the Trout are bigger than the 9"-12" Stockers we have normally been seeing!

Waterloo and the Guadalupana Do Well This Round

Went to Waterloo Saturday afternoon.  Fished the four weight fly rod and a COAF Guadalupana in a Size 12.  Caught and released a number of Rainbow Trout.  Kept five to make a limit.  Did see others hooking up on Silver Super Dupers. Nice day to go fishing!

Field Study - Lures and Baits for Stocked Rainbow Trout

Here is a new article about the Team's work on collecting data when fishing for Rainbow Trout.

Peak Rotary Vise and a COAF Guadalupana

Finally bought a Peak Rotary Vise.  Saw one several years ago at Bass Pro Shops in Garland; liked it but opted not to buy one.

Been holding off on buying one since then.  Had a deal online that I could not pass up (also had gift cards and rewards points that knocked the price down to under $100).

Came in the mail yesterday; tied a fly today... really like it!

Light Strikes at Waterloo This Round

Headed to Denison Saturday afternoon and fished Waterloo.  Recently stocked in preparation for the Trout Derby held that morning; the bite was steady.

Three of us fished and managed to take three limits.  NucLaroche and T-Bone caught them on PowerBait and Ultralight Gear.  Fshng84 fished a COAF Guadalupana and a Four Weight Fly Rod.

The strikes were light but the Team did manage to take five each! Even caught one of the tagged Trout from the Derby!  Fun stuff!

COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly - Samples

A Reader sent an email asking about purchasing a COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly.  We pointed him to the COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly  article that describes how to make one. However, the Reader was adamant about purchasing one rather than making one.  So, we offered a sample fishing fly for his use... looks like others have asked as well.

To make things easier (since we prefer to fish rather than make fishing flies), we created a "Buy Now" PayPal button for anyone who would like a sample fishing fly.  Only made a few fishing flies but can make more (time permitting) on a periodic basis.

If the PayPal button does not work or if we are sold out of samples, email us at coaf.weblog@live.com to let us know there is an issue.

Thanks,
COAF Field Team

Note:  Samples available only in the United States and in USD ($) only.  Limit one fishing fly per order at $2.00 (+ 60 cents shipping/handling).

A Limit at Waterloo to Close Out the Year!

Decided to head to Denison this afternoon to fish Waterloo Park Pond for one more shot at Rainbow Trout in 2013.  Caught a limit - one on a GRHEN and four on a COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly.

Light strikes, had to pay close attention to the line and feel of the strike.  Missed several strikes, but was able to hook a few!

Fun stuff... especially after two weeks since the pond was stocked.  No worries though; the next stocking is this weekend!

Round Three at Huaco Springs

Round three at Huaco Springs started early this morning.  Fished a COAF Guadalupana Fishing Fly on the Four Weight Fly Rod and caught a limit of Trout!  Strikes were light compared to yesterday and fish were really "picky" about the size of the fishing fly.  No takers on a Size 14 but lots of action on the Size 12.

Fishing buddy also limited out using an Ultralight Rod and a Bubble Fly Rig.  Had four Trout go for the COAF Guadalupana, and one Trout take a BH GRHEN!

Fun stuff... did see others taking them on Silver Super Dupers, Orange Power Bait, and Marshmallows.  Also, when we first arrived, saw one nice sized Trout caught by one fisherman!

Nice to know there are some Bruisers lurking in the area!
