Break in the Rain... To Bethany We Go! #switchrod #flyfishing

-

Rain was pouring this morning, then we saw a break in the storm. Made the run to Bethany to see what was lurking by the Waterfall. Was working on another online article, hope to post sooner than later. But, when the rain stopped, got sidetracked and grabbed the first rod available – the 6wt Switch Rod that we used yesterday… LOL!

In the past, we had good strikes using a Purple Damsel Fly under a strike indicator. Today was no different! Managed three Bass this round before having to cut the trip short… grocery store errand for the significant other. Doh!

Short on time this morning. Got a round in though at Bethany Lakes. Saw a few folks hooking up with Trout; however, for this fisherman, it was three strikes of which two were missed, and one that did not… only one Rainbow Trout this time!

Happy "Non-Labor Day"

-
Enjoyed a morning walk on a “Non-Labor Day”… like to use this term for today since we are not working today. While on the walk, checked out a pond and its feeder creek for any fish. Did not see any fish in the pond but noticed a number of Bluegill and Bass lurking in the feeder creek. No fishing this round; did get a couple of videos and posted them below!   On a walk today. Saw some #Bass and #Bluegill in a feeder creek! A video posted by COAF Field Team (@coaf.field.team) on Sep 5, 2016 at 9:45am PDT   A little further on a walk, see more #bass and #bluegill in the feeder creek!
