Making preparations for kayak fishing and juglining. Had to fix my juglines to make them legal in Texas. Rules require juglines to be at least 3″ wide and 6″ long. Good to go now!
While at it, replaced the Name and Address Label with a Customer ID Label. Liking it much better than the old rules!
Sunday morning decided on Tenkara Fishing a local pond. Bass were spawning but none of the Bruisers wanted to play. Caught Bluegill and little Bass for a fun round fishing!
Sunday morning had fun Tenkara Fishing the local pond.
Getting ready for the warm weather fishing season. Time to start the Suzuki 2.5hp Outboard motor. After several pulls and a warm up period, starts with one pull! Just need to clean up the jon boat and rig jug lines, should be ready for the season!
Here is a video short of yours truly trying to catch a trout or two after figuring out the pattern. Trout were wanting no retrieve, minimal movement... or a long pull and then hold while the fly sank. Used a Pat's Near Deere, and then a Pat's Rubber Legs.
Here is a simple but effective pattern to try... possibly for the first time fly tyer! Uses bead chain eyes and two plumes of marabou. Worked for Bass and Bluegill at the local pond!
Left the Senkos at home while out and about. Fishing with BFS Gear - Shimano Scorpion 17, Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Rod, and Rooster Tails.
Saw bass cruising the shallows, had several strikes and lots of misses. Did run into a school of little Bass that just did not want to commit to striking the Rooster Tail.
Luckily, water was clear and I could see them react to my lure... so, tried this to get them to strike. It worked, except I still need to work on my landing technique!
Check out the video!
It was a fun time last Saturday at the 7th Annual TRWD Flyfest. We have not missed one since the first TRWD Flyfest in 2016!
A fly fishing event that offers fly fishing demos, fly tying classes, fly fishing seminars, and fly casting lessons. It also hosts a Big Trout Contest which is a Team favorite.
This year we were able post a livestream while we watched contestants compete. Although we missued Heat 4 and the final Fish Off to decided the contest winner, we did enjoy the fast paced action that Heats 1 – 3 provided.
We have posted unedited Livestreams on our Channel for reference. For those that would like a highlights version of the contest, do check out the video!
Key items to note this round… fly fishing presentation and technique coupled with positioning where the fish are lurking made a difference in numbers of trout caught!
We have our complete line of journals and a book that is in the works at COAF Field Team Press. Do check out our Author Page - https://www.amazon.com/author/coaf-field-team
A quick trip fly fishing a Pat’s Near Deere for whatever bites at Lake Glenn!
