Quick Trip to Bethany with the Five Weight and a Foam Grasshopper

-

Lots of rain last week coupled with lot of work made for a tough time to go fishing. Started raining this afternoon, so had no plans to fish but then saw a break and made a run to Bethany. Grabbed the five weight fly rod (one that I broke and fixed last year) as it already had a Foam Grasshopper on it. Bite was steady with Bluegill, Sunfish, and Shellcracker. Did get one Bass to take as well. Lost count of how many but did get a few sample pictures posted on Instagram (coaf.field.team)

 

Able to wet a line today, #flyfishing with #foamgrasshopper… #fish liked it!

Red/White Tenkara Fly Did Well!

Liked the Olive/White Tenkara Fly; decided to try Red for the body and White for the Wing… end result is another simple but effective fishing fly pattern. Tested the pattern at Bethany Lakes this evening. Really windy day but did get enough casts to catch 12 fish this round  – two Bass and ten Bluegill! May need to tie more of these guys!
