Lunch Time Quick Trip - October 20, 2008

Fished Bethany Lakes' Feeder Creek and Back Pond at lunch today. Caught Bluegill/Sunfish flyfishing a Foam Rubber Spider Variant. Had several strikes from small Bass and saw others chasing baitfish in the shallows. Tried a Wooly Spider and an Olive Wooley Bugger but did not get any solid hook-ups. Fish seemed slow to strike despite the warmer noon temps. Switched to the Foam Rubber Spider Variant and was able to get them to hit on the surface. Sampling of today's catch posted below.

Better Luck Next Time.

Fished Hoblitzelle Park Pond in Plano and the nearby creek that runs under Alma this morning. Mainly small Bluegill in the Park's Pond and the creek. Did observe a few small Bass with one that may have weighed a pound in the creek. They followed my fishing fly but could not get them to strike. Better luck next time. FYI: Tried out the Bead Eye Teeny Spider. Had Bass react to it but could not get them to strike this morning. Switched to a Wooly Spider, Olive Wooley Bugger, Brown Wooley Bugger, and Black and Red Zonker. Same reaction, following fishing fly but no strike. Hoping they are acting in this manner due to the cooler weather. Checkout DFW Fishing News for more fishing information. Click-on DFW Fishing News.
