COLD at the RR dam

I went to the Ray Roberts dam with Shannon on Sunday and got stuck out there in a cold front! It was freezing and windy but I still managed 6 and hooked a few more that I lost. They were hitting an Electric blue North Fork Nymph today. Not sure why, but the shad bite was off. I casted clousers a bunch but they would only hit the nymph

I also got a pic of the bass box after I stocked it a bit more. Epicness

Weekend- SLOW fishing!

This weekend was really cold and the fish were really lethargic. I fished Eisenhower, my Grandparents pond, the Ray Roberts Dam, and Lantana flats. I'll start with my little single fish for the weekend, a nice 9 inch bluegill.

New 4wt action!

I went to the Ray Roberts dam with my friend Dean after the pickerel trip fell apart. The red river fly fishers were there and I got to talk to a few of the guys I knew. No one was really catching. After that we hit Lantana for carp. I saw 4 all day and made 1 cast, which was politely refused by a smaller 3lb carp.

Then to Eisenhower. They changed the fina sign! I saw a few but didn't catch at all. The water clarity is insane! I think I could see the bottom in 14 feet of water!

I plan on fishing later today sometime if it warms up a little.

Great end to a great year

I braved the insane wind today(15 gusting to 35) and fished with Shannon Drawe. We fished for carp at Ray Roberts first, which I already knew was inevitable. They were super spooky and the wind made spotting fish extremely hard but we still saw several fish (a lot for December is like 5 and we saw about 15) and I only made one cast all day and I spooked the only fish I casted to.

Then, we decided to hit the ray roberts dam to make the day worth it. We had an awesome day. We walked down and I rerigged, sticking a clouser on my TFO clouser, casted, and fish on!

I broke the fly off on a rock the next cast. Rerigging again with a clouser tied on a EC410 jig hook, making it more weedless (or rockless in this situation)

Back to fishing. Fish on!

They might be small, but they are sure fun to catch! I broke out my new 4wt. It's absolutely perfect in this situation.

Thanks to Shannon Drawe for taking all these pics! It's a change not being behind the camera. I still love the camera.

I decided it was time to change flies, giving Shannon a chance to jump into the action

You can see how hard sandbass are on flies here! This fly went though like 20 fish before it looked too torn up to continue fishing!

Shannon caught a few and I caught a few more. We moved back to the concrete walkway and fished around there for another 20 minutes before hitting the road again. I lost count at 60 sandbass, with 10 being keepers. A great end to 2010. Happy New year!
