Cold Morning; Bluegill Still Biting.

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning to sample the fishing. Not sure how the cold weather affected the pattern since we last fished.

Decided to flyfish a Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymph to locate the Bluegill. Tried a number of spots throughout the park, finally locating a school in the Back Pond in about 6' to 8' of water. Sampling of today's catch posted below.

Cold morning with temps starting at 27F Degrees; luckily the Bluegill continued to strike on a slow retrieve.

Slight Delay.

Having a slight delay in posting fishing reports; been tied up with work. Hoping with the upcoming holidays will be able to hit the local ponds and catch Trout.

Was able to take a break from the daily grind and participate in the city of Allen's 5K Rudolph Run. About 1500+ runners participated despite the cold "below freezing" morning.

Good luck and good fishing!
