Quick Trip to Bethany for More Trout

Fished Bethany this evening; first cast got a Rainbow Trout on a Silver Super Duper, and then no more strikes afterwards.

Shifted to a COAF Griffith's Gnat and used the 5WT Fly Rod to work some of the Risers. Managed to hook and land one; else, had more missed strikes. Was not paying close attention... oh well, till next time.

Video/report sent to StockerTroutFishing.com... Also, tied some COAF Griffith's Gnat and BH GRHEN since we were running low.

COAF Griffith's Gnat Gets One....

After fishing Waterloo this morning; decided to check the action at Bethany this evening as well as test out a fly fishing leader I made from monofilament fishing line.

Saw others posting on the Texas Fishing Forum about making their own fly fishing leaders. Decided to use a "recipe" from way back when I first started fly fishing and was always seemed low in funds.

Leader worked well, turning over the COAF Griffith's Gnat with ease. Even hooked and landed one Trout. No pics... slipped and fell while preparing to take a picture of it.  Ended up flopping back in to the water.

No worries... had fun as well as good to see the "recipe" still works!

Tough Go This Round at Waterloo

Headed up to Denison this morning. Tough go this round at Waterloo Park Pond. Two of us fished, but only one of us limited out.

Took a while to figure out the pattern; turned out a BH GRHEN under a strike indicator did the trick at least for Fshng84. NucLaroche had a couple of missed hook sets, else he struck out.

Still a fun time despite the cold temps. Video/report posted at StockerTroutFishing.com!

No Bruisers; Just Stockers

Two This Round

Could not stay away. Fished Bethany this evening and hooked up with two trout using Super Dupers.

Did get to try the new Fly Rod out; worked out well even with the wind. Going to have to catch something with it now.

Fun stuff... report/video sent to StockerTroutFishing.com.

PS: Stopped at Cabelas and stocked up on Trilene; works well for making fly fishing leaders.

Limited Out This Morning; New 4wt the Afternoon

Went fishing at Bethany Lakes this morning before it started to rain. Zeke brought his dog and no fishing pole. Also, gave a running commentary on how to fish like he normally does... LOL.

Limited out... sent report - video and onsite podcast, to the Web Admin at StockerTroutFishing.com. Let's see how soon it gets posted.

Later, went to Cabelas to check out the deals with Zeke. Zeke bought licorice; Fshng84 bought another fly rod (4wt, 5'6" Cabelas TQR) like he normally does... LOL.



PS: Report and Podcast posted at Report/Video. Only took 30"... Wow!

COAF Griffith's Gnat Took Three Trout This Round

Quick trip to Bethany this evening. Took three on a COAF Griffith's Gnat in about 20", and then missed several others. 

Ended the day with three Trout plus one from another fisherman who caught it on a PowerWorm. 

Wind was tough but luckily Trout were still taking dry flies! Sent report/video to StockerTroutFishing.com; they posted it as well.

Do check it out!

Got Two This Round

Stopped by earlier in the day and struck out. Was a tough time with the cold and wind. Hoped for rising trout that would go for the COAF Griffith's Gnat. No luck... called it quits and headed to the casa to warm up. Planned to go later when the trout would be rising (hopefully)!

Made it back around 3PM and tried the Griffith's Gnat without success, switched to other fishing flies, and then switched to a Spinning Rod/Reel and a Super Duper. Had one strike but no hook ups.

Finally, trout started rising around 5PM.  Hooked three, landed two, and lost one in 20". Had to leave them biting though... till next time!

Sent report to our Partners at StockerTroutFishing.com; do check it out - Today's Post.!

Windy and Cold at Bethany... Merry Christmas!

Windy and cold at Bethany; was hoping to get a few hits from risers on the Griffith's Gnat.

Saw a few but none in range to cast. Will have to wait till they start rising consistently again to try on a dry fly again.

Time to get inside and get warm again!

For now, the Team would like to say, "Merry Christmas to our Readers!"
