LLELA and then Waterloo This Round

Checked out LLELA this morning.  Struck out but did see others catching Trout.  Looked likes a few nice sized ones mixed in with the Stockers! Seemed like the PowerBait Power Worms were the ticket.

Afterwards, headed to Denison to have some fun catching tonight's dinner!  Limited out using a Size 10 COAF Guadalupana.  Had to try different retrieves and adjust when the Trout started getting picky.  Fun stuff!

Back to Waterloo... COAF Guadalupana Does Well!

More fun at Waterloo in Denison.  Missed the Youth Trout Derby but did not miss out on the stocked Trout!  Windy day but the Four Weight Rod did its job; limited out using size 14 COAF Guadalupana!  Fun stuff!

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).
