fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Good action this evening. Foam Grasshopper seemed to be the go to fishing fly this time! 11 Bass and a Bluegill liked it! Fun stuff! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gramps50 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2015 Nice fish, I like fishing those small ponds. In the video it appears that you are standing maybe 10 ft from the water, is there a reason for that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks! Standing back because the recent rains has made it really muddy to get closer. Also, helps keep from spooking the fish lurking in the shallows.... used a Foam Grasshopper this evening. Started later but ended with seven Bass this time! Today's Video.

fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Had fun this past weekend on the lake. Past few days, it's been work and more work. However, did get to break away for a quick trip. Fished for about an hour and caught four fish... - a little Sunfish that went for a COAF Guadalupana, a nice sized Bluegill, a Bass, and another Bluegill that went for a Foam Grasshopper! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Managed to catch a Bluegill and three Bass using a White Foam Grasshopper this evening. Fun stuff! Today's Video. Pattern still works - especially helps when the local pond is starting to get clobbered with "green stuff". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 ... 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".Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Did all the fish come on the same fly. If so very durable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2015 Hi Piker20, yes, they all went for the same fly. But, by the end of the fishing trip, it needed new rubber legs. They tend to tear when I use forceps to remove the fishing fly from the fish's mouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng84 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 With all the green stuff clobbering the ponds at Bethany Lakes, decided to tie some Foam Grasshoppers for this evening's round of fishing. Good thing, caught a number of Bass and Bluegill. Posted a video of some of the action this evening; of note, was one Bluegill on the hook was almost taken by a nice Bruiser Bass that got away. Got some video of the "attack"! Today's Video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
