Quick Trip to Bethany for More Trout

Fished Bethany this evening; first cast got a Rainbow Trout on a Silver Super Duper, and then no more strikes afterwards.

Shifted to a COAF Griffith's Gnat and used the 5WT Fly Rod to work some of the Risers. Managed to hook and land one; else, had more missed strikes. Was not paying close attention... oh well, till next time.

Video/report sent to StockerTroutFishing.com... Also, tied some COAF Griffith's Gnat and BH GRHEN since we were running low.

COAF Griffith's Gnat Gets One....

After fishing Waterloo this morning; decided to check the action at Bethany this evening as well as test out a fly fishing leader I made from monofilament fishing line.

Saw others posting on the Texas Fishing Forum about making their own fly fishing leaders. Decided to use a "recipe" from way back when I first started fly fishing and was always seemed low in funds.

Leader worked well, turning over the COAF Griffith's Gnat with ease. Even hooked and landed one Trout. No pics... slipped and fell while preparing to take a picture of it.  Ended up flopping back in to the water.

No worries... had fun as well as good to see the "recipe" still works!

COAF Griffith's Gnat Took Three Trout This Round

Quick trip to Bethany this evening. Took three on a COAF Griffith's Gnat in about 20", and then missed several others. 

Ended the day with three Trout plus one from another fisherman who caught it on a PowerWorm. 

Wind was tough but luckily Trout were still taking dry flies! Sent report/video to StockerTroutFishing.com; they posted it as well.

Got Two This Round

Stopped by earlier in the day and struck out. Was a tough time with the cold and wind. Hoped for rising trout that would go for the COAF Griffith's Gnat. No luck... called it quits and headed to the casa to warm up. Planned to go later when the trout would be rising (hopefully)!

Made it back around 3PM and tried the Griffith's Gnat without success, switched to other fishing flies, and then switched to a Spinning Rod/Reel and a Super Duper. Had one strike but no hook ups.

Finally, trout started rising around 5PM.  Hooked three, landed two, and lost one in 20". Had to leave them biting though... till next time!

Fishing Not Catching!

Frustrating day but still had fun fishing instead of working. Fished Bethany Lakes and tried various fishing flies until a pattern was found.

Been having trouble figuring out what fishing dry fly to use for the rising trout. After several rounds, settled on the COAF Griffith's Gnat. Had tried a Black Midge Dry Fly and had "nudges" but no hook ups yesterday and today.

After changing fishing flies several times, tied on the COAF Griffith's Gnat and started getting strikes. Ended up only catching one but did hook five others that came off when trying to lift the Trout out of the water.

May need to tie a few more and try fishing it again to confirm it's no fluke!
