Been out of pocket this past week but did make it the Bethany Lakes this evening to end the work week and to start the weekend. What better way to do so, then wetting a line and fishing a pond! This round it was two Bass, and then several Bluegill and Sunfish. All went for… [read more]

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…. [read more]

Happy Father’s Day! What better way to start the day fishing the local pond. Still having withdrawals from the Coast and saltwater fishing. No worries, tried fishing a Mirrolure at Bethany Lakes. Had one Bass take it but throw the lure while bring him in. Did get a big turtle to take as well; it also… [read more]

Was working on another online article, hope to post sooner than later. But, when the rain stopped, got sidetracked and grabbed the first rod available – the 6wt Switch… [read more]

Mid-week hump day has us at Bethany Lakes for more Switch Rod casting practice. Started with a Clouser for the fishing fly, but switched to a Green Foam Grasshopper after seeing surface activity as we walked the Main Pond. Missed a couple before hooking one. Brought it to the bank and it managed to throw… [read more]

Decided to get a round of Switch Rod casting practice at Bethany Lakes this morning. Missed two Bass but did get two Bass. Lots of fun especially getting distance casts using the one-handed style we like. One Bass went for a Clouser Minnow; the other Bass went for an Olive Near Deere. The two Bass… [read more]

Able to sneak away this evening for a quick trip to Bethany Lakes. Really nice evening with minimal wind. Made for ease of casting the fly rod. Bite was slow but still lots of fun. Caught a Bass and a Shellcracker on a Foam Grasshopper, and another Bass that went for a Near Deere. Bass… [read more]
