Stocker Trout Fishing News

Made a quick trip to Bethany Lakes today. Started with a Near Deere but only got a Frisbee Golf frisbee(?) with it. Switched to a Foam Grasshopper and hooked a few until losing it to a “tree fish”. Looked in the fly box to see what other goodies were available. Lots to chose; settled on an Orange/White Tenkara Fly. In short order the Tenkara Fly was getting bit. Ended up catching a few more Bluegill before we had to go. Left them biting though… Fun stuff!  

Made it out to Bethany Lakes today for more testing of the Olive/White Tenkara Fly. So far, liking the results – 20 fish this round! 1 Bass, 1 Rainbow Trout, and 18 Bluegill! Go figure a Rainbow Trout in May! Today’s Catch! Rainbow Trout in May!  

Went for a quick trip to the pond by Sonic yesterday. Had about an hour and a half to fish but did manage to catch and release sixteen Bass, a Bluegill, and a Crappie! All went for a Near Deere in pink or olive. Also, started out with a short pull and fast retrieve that worked well in the daylight. Later, switched to a steady and slow retrieve as it got darker. Seemed to work in the low light conditions. When using the steady and slow retrieve, had to pay close attention to any change in the line, setting the hook at the slightest hesitation and/or twitch! Fun stuff!
