Originally published 12-22-2014. Bethany Lakes Fishing Report We received another report from Bethany Lakes from Glenn who noted the bite was mixed. Some fishermen were doing well catching their limit, while others were striking out. What worked this round: Silver Super Dupers worked well today Gold Super Dupers were also getting struck Sight casting to boils as well as a steady retrieve of the Super Duper helped get strikes As the bite slowed, switching to fishing flies helped A Bubble Fly Rig also helped in getting the distance needed to reach active fish feeding on the surface Below is a short video showing one fisherman bringing in a Trout using a Bubble Fly Rig!

Originally posted 2014/12/21 The Team confirmed one of our own graduated with an Engineering Degree from Texas A&M University! Now, it's back to fishing again! Bethany Lakes in Allen Reports from the Team indicated the action Saturday morning was steady for some while slow for others. In the Team's case, one Rainbow Trout fell for an Olive Wooley Bugger at Bethany Lakes in Allen.  Key notes from the morning round were: Slow retrieve and/or stop and go retrieve seemed to work Casting spoons like Super Dupers in Gold and Silver and Mini-Jigs were getting strikes Bubble Fly Rig cast to fish feeding near the surface were getting strikes Fish were also taking PowerBait and PowerWorms Action was steady initially but tapered off with the exception of the Bubble Fly Rig.

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning in hopes of Trout. Much warmer day and was anticipating some good action. However, that was not the case. Ended up catching a Bass on an Olive Near Deere. Did have on Trout take a COAF Griffith’s Gnat but just could not set the hook in time. Having struck out on Trout and in need of a Trout Fishing “fix”, decided to head to Denison and fish Waterloo for Trout. Took a fishing buddy and in short order we limited out! One limit using Silver or Gold Super Dupers. Other limit using an Olive Near Deere! Not a bad day especially on a warm December day!

Kicked off the weekend with a round of fishing at Kroger Pond. Had not fished it for some time; good to see the water is clear at least in the Feeder Creek. Did see lots of “green stuff” clobbering the pond area. Regardless, fish were going for a Size 16 Foam Grasshopper . No Bruisers other than a nice sized Sunfish; no worries though, they all put up a good fight on the Micro Fly Rod ! Cannot recall how many fish were caught and released but over 20 would be a good “guestimate”… next question, where to fish tomorrow? Going to play it by ear for now!
