One Bass, One Catfish

Fished a Senko this morning at Bethany.  Had a strike and a miss, then a strike and a hook-up, and a strike and another miss!  One Bass on the Senko was the result.

Then, switched to Bread; caught a Catfish that went about 16" in size.  Took about 15" for the bite; tried one more cast using Bread.  No more hook-ups, so called it a morning.

Still a lot of fun.  Was good to see Senkos and Bread are working!

One On a Grasshopper!

Went to the Bethany this afternoon.  Brought the Four Weight and a Foam Rubber Grasshopper we tied the other day.  Windy conditions and a little warmer;  was looking for some top water action.  Had one taker... a little Bass!  Not a bad start to the upcoming Spring.

Missed Hook Ups This Round

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening.  Used a four weight fly rod and a jig fishing fly. Three misses this round; one was a Bass.  The other two we could not tell but one felt like a Bruiser. Tough go this round!  Here is the video of one of the missed fish.

A Sunfish, a Little Catfish, and a Green LED Fishing Light Field Test

Fished Murphy City Hall Pond for Trout.  Ended up breaking off the last Size 12 COAF Guadalupana in the fly box.  Had been a consistent producer for Trout.  Gonna have to tie more and refill the fly box.

Switched to a Prince Nymph and struck out, then switched to Bread and started getting some strikes but no hook ups. Had brought a Bread Fly in hopes of hooking a fish with it.  Ended up catching a Sunfish and a little Catfish on Bread.

Did get a chance to test out the 6v Green LED Fishing Light.  Worked great; still working on the 9v version of it.  Circuit board is done; just need to get the PVC body completed.

Cold evening but still a lot of fun!

Too Nice a Day to Spend Indoors!

Too nice a day to spend indoors; went back out in the afternoon for some catch and release fishing!  This time in Murphy.

Had a tough time but did manage to hook four Trout!  Also, noticed chumming with bread made a difference in getting the Trout and Bluegill to feed on the surface.

Was able to take advantage of this by casting the COAF Guadalupana near the drifting pieces of bread that were being blown across the pond!

Fun stuff... Will play tomorrow by ear as the weather is not looking good.

Bite Was Good at Towne Lake This Morning!

Bite was good at Towne Lake this morning!  Brought the Switch Rod and was able to make long cast to the middle of the pond and get a Trout or two or three.  Fast retrieve was the key at first.  Then, a slower (drifting) retrieve worked.

Did see others doing well on small Nymphs, Wooley Buggers, and Midges as well as Silver Super Dupers. Ended the morning with a limit of Trout!
