More On The Fly This Round

Fished a Griffith's Gnat that we tie using a Caddis Hook.  Caught a bunch of little guys on the fly with three weight rod.  No Bruisers but still a lot of fun.  Fish were feeding on a bugs that were all over the place this evening.

Auburn Springs This Time

Tied a variant of the Griffith's Gnat and fished Auburn Springs this time.  Had a few strikes and misses, and then started to connect.  Little Bluegill but still fun catching on a Dry Fly!

A Few Fish This Time

Fished Bethany this evening; went with a Three Weight Rod and the COAF Guadalupana. Slower bite but managed three Bass and a little Bluegill. Still a good time; still beats work!

Fun Time Catching Fish....

Fun time catching fish at the pond by the College Station Police Department yesterday! Bluegill, Shellcracker, and other Panfish went for the COAF Guadalupana.  Worked for Rainbow Trout; worked on Panfish, too!  Lotta fun especially on a Four Weight Fly Rod.

Sunfish and Bluegill On the Fly This Round

Late start today and short on time.  Decided to try for Sunfish and Bluegill on the fly at Celebration Park's North Pond.  Started with a GRHEN, then switched to a Size 20 Dry Fly.  A lotta of small bugs in the air and falling on to the water's surface that the fish were feeding on. No Bruisers but still lots of fun!  Even caught a Shad or Minnow looking thing!

A Sunfish, a Miss, and a Bass!

Slow day today but did manage to catch a little Sunfish.  Followed by a missed strike, and then a Bass to closeout this round.  Fun stuff even on a slow day!

More Fishing Today!

Checked out the Feeder Creek that runs into Shadow Lakes this morning.  Saw Bass on beds; tough fishing with fly fishing gear as the brush and tree limbs tend to snag the fly line.

Did get one Bass to take a COAF Damsel Fly that was crawled slowly across its bed.  But, ended up losing it when it ran for a brush pile and broke off.

Later in the afternoon, fished the pond behind In-N-Out Burger and struck out!

Moved on to the Catch and Release Ponds at Plano East Senior High School.  After an hour without a strike using various fishing flies, went to the Size 12 COAF Damsel Fly after noticing small fry hugging close to the banks.

Worked the undercut banks and was able to hook and land three Bass.  Fun stuff...!

Out and About This Round

Decided to try some other places to fish this round.  Started at Russell Creek Park Pond in Plano.  Was hoping to fish for Bluegill in their beds using the Size 12 COAF Damsel Fly. Ended up striking out.

Went on to the pond at Davis Library and struck out again.  Did try for Bass in their beds but no takers.  Also, tried a Bread Fly on several large Koi.  No luck either.

Moved on to Oak Point Park Preserve in Plano; managed one little Bass on the Size 12 COAF Damsel Fly.

Went on to Allen and tried Kroger Park Pond (officially Bethany Ridge Park).  Saw several Bass but no Bluegill; Bass were not interested in being caught!

Then, went across the street to Bethany Lakes and caught several Bass using the COAF Damsel Fly.  Had to call it quits though but...

Made one last stop at the Feeder Creek that flows into the Shadow Lakes series of ponds. Managed a Bass, lost a decent Bass, and then caught several Panfish to include a Longear Sunfish, a Sunfish, and a Bluegill.

Liked the smaller Size 12 COAF Damsel Fly but be prepared for smaller fish overall.

Bass On Damsel Flies This Round

Fished with a COAF Damsel Fly this time at Bethany Lakes; had several misses but did land four Bass! Largest was caught by the waterfall in a shallow pocket.

Really liking our variant of the Damsel Fly. Works well this time of year when the Bass are tending to strike at fishing flies that bounce the bottom which is why we use the it as it tends to ride hook bend up when fished making for less hang ups on the bottom!

PS:  Stay tuned, will be posting another fly tying article that details how we make a COAF Damsel Fly!
