First Kayak Fishing Trip to Lavon for 2020 #kayakfishing

Finally able to make it out in the kayak to our local lake – Lake Lavon. Went light with one rod and the small tackle box with slabs and crappie jigs. Planned to try for crappie in the trees but no luck.

Did manage one Yellow Bass on a Slab and Jig Rig and bottom bouncing it across a point. Too nice a day to be indoors, glad to get out and stretch the paddling muscles.

Do plan to be back sooner than later as the temps warm!

Saturday...

Cold temps. Not sure what the Team is doing today but the intent is to at least wet a line!

Did tie some Tenkara style fishing flies like the one posted below.  May get a chance to try it out later on!

Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge

Late start today; no trout fishing but did get a chance to catch several little Bluegill/Sunfish using a Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge. Here is a picture of the Tiny Midge used... Fun stuff!

What to do, What to do?

Team is debating on where to fish this morning. Still have a "honey do" list that includes Christmas lights to be taken down. Luckily, need to let them dry before putting them up. Sounds like a "tomorrow thing"!

Better yet, why not leave them up all year... Christmas is year round, maybe? HOA may not agree with it as well as the significant other.

So, heard Denison is hosting a Trout Derby today for adults; plus they stocked it again. Sounds like a possibility later today.

Will play it by ear and send an update to the Web Admin at StockerTroutFishing.com; go figure. He is pushing us to go fishing so he can post which may be a good (or bad) thing.

For now, let's say it is a good thing!

Happy New Year!

The Field Team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

So far the Winter Trout Stocking Season is going well! Hope to get out again once the weather clears.

And for those able to get out and fish...

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

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.
