No Fishing Today; Tunes and Burgers Instead #allensummersounds

-

No fishing today. Decided to check out the Allen Summer Sounds concert. Today, Jolie Holliday and Sonny Burgess brought some great music to Bethany Lakes – the Team’s stomping grounds for fishing.

Although Bethany Lakes had us wanting to fish, the music and the free burgers from In-N-Out Burger kept us chillin’ in the grass.

Had a great time!

Pond Fishing | Little Bluegill on a Fly Rod | Bethany Lakes

-
Image
Saturday started with rain but by afternoon all had passed, decided to go pond fishing at the local pond with the old Redington Pursuit 4wt Fly Rod with Ross Flystart 2 Reel. Fished a Pat’s Rubber Leg, Near Deere, and Guadalupana without success. Thought Bass would be biting given temps in the high 60 to low 70s. Wind was brutal, else a really nice day to be outdoors fishing! Ended up playing with the little Bluegill lurking by the Waterfall; strikes on a Griffith’s Gnat and Black Midge. No Bruisers but great practice for light striking trout!

DIY Tanago Rod

More tinkering around with ice fishing rod components. For ease of reference, calling it the Do It Yourself (DIY) Tanago Rod. Going to use it for Micro Fishing; hopefully to catch one of those “guppy” looking fish! Easy to make… used a 20″ solid fiberglass ice fishing rod, a 12″ wooden handle, and a braided cord for the lillian. Add some 2 pound test mono – smallest line in the tackle box, ready to try it out!

Three On the Switch Rod This Round!

-
Image
Pink and White Near Deere Quick trip to Bethany for some Switch Rod casting practice this evening. Managed three Bass that went for a White Near Deere this round. Similar to the “swing the rod slowly retrieve” that worked on the trout at Waterloo in Denison and at Frisco Commons, it worked on the Bass at Bethany as well! Need to keep this in mind for the Saturday’s Trout Derbies. Although there are two scheduled, will likely give Murphy’s Trout Roundup a try! Fun stuff!

Trout Fishing Murphy City Complex Pond | Livestream in Murphy, Texas

-
Image
After only a strike and a miss, decided to post a livestream while trout fishing at Murphy City Complex Pond. Saw lots of folks, with limits being taken on PowerBait and PowerWorms as well as lures. Gold Super Duper worked for some in the morning. Later, Silver Super Dupers were getting bit. Key was to cast mid-pond , let the lure sink, and retrieve slow... much slower than the retrieve that worked last weekend in McKinney's Towne Lake.

Micro Fly Rod Fishing Quick Trip

-
Image
Been a tough week to go fishing but made a quick trip after working out this morning. Used the Micro Fly Rod and a Foam Grasshopper in Size 14 to catch little Sunfish and Bluegill at Celebration Park’s North Pond. Most were small (micro size) but did get several bigger ones in the mix. Overall had a fun time, sure beats working! Really liking the Micro Fly Rod concept, too!
