Stocker Trout Fishing News

Monday made the run late in the day to Bethany Lakes. Was trying the Bennett’s Lunch fishing fly we picked up in Gruene a few weeks ago. Late start because the temps were hot that day… in the 100s, opted to wait till just before dark. No takers on the Bennett’s Lunch, will have to keep trying as we know it is a great pattern for Stripers and Bass. Did catch a couple of Bluegill on the Foam Spider using the Discount Switch Rod – Maxcatch Fly Rod, Orvis Fly Reel, and Rio Trout Max.

Package arrived from Orvis. Ordered the Hydros SL1 Fly Reel that was on sale at a 60% discount! See video – https://youtu.be/rrtz25LxfQU for more details. Planned to mount it on the Cabelas 2wt CGR Fly Rod. Looks awesome… have a WF 2wt fly line that is delivering next week. Hope to try it out soon after it arrives. Cool looking reel, with a reel pouch to store it in and a tool to switch the retrieve from left to right and vice versa. Do stay tuned, will post a follow-up video fishing with it and possibly catching a fish or two with it! Click on pictures to see more about Cabela’s CGR Rod/Reel Combo and deals they are offering!
