Down with a cold or a flu... won't make the Trick-A-Trout Derby in Frisco. Good luck to others. For now, can replay past trips to Frisco Commons Pond... Playlist Post.

Able to wet a line today. Hooked three but did not land any at Frisco. Did have fun casting the OPST Commando Skajit shooting head on a short fly rod. Works well... even when I grabbed the wrong reel!

Demo on fly casting tips and the importance of the back cast and quality fly line... rod and reel taking a backseat to the line. Fun video to make. Made it to answer a question posed to us while fishing yesterday. Hope others may find it of interest! Video.

Rain and more rain here; but good to see others are able to go fishing. Including one Reader from Australia! Looks like trout are biting down under! Update from OZ.

MAde it fishing yesterday; here is the video of the action yesterday... posted one video fishing the pond, and then a second video to demo the "one rod, no reel" fly fishing concept... it works! No need for lots of gear, and can catch fish using only 8 yards of line... Videos.

Not able to fish today but did get a round in yesterday. Went with the 5wt lined with the OPST Commando Head. Struck out at Murphy in the morning, but did get some great practice in. Later, stopped at Bethany and caught three little Bass on a Purple Damsel Fly, and a bigger one on a White Foam Grasshopper. Editing the video still but here is a quick update.. Post.

Still editing the video of the casting practice and fish caught Sunday. Did get a quick trip in fly casting without a rod or reel... just the Rio InTouch Switch Chucker line that is normally on the Switch Rod. Quality line concept is making more sense! Video Post.

Done editing the video of the casting practice and fish caught Saturday. Added details on how we setup the fly rod, demo of the casting, and snippets of the Bass caught. Fun Casting with the OPST Commando Head!

Having a tough time with editing the video from last weekend. Got sidetracked again; had the day off so after a little ukelele time to get song stuck in my head recorded, went fishing. Caught a nice trout that went 20" on the Trinity in Fort Worth! Quick Update - March 16, 2018
