Was out and about today. Too nice a day to stay indoors. Decided to make a quick trip to Waterloo Pond while passing through Denison today. Was hoping for a limit but it was not the case. That said, yoours truly caught his first fish for 2021... a little trout that went for a Tandem Rigged Near Deere and GRHEN. Trout went for the GRHEN! Great start to 2021!

Micro Fly Rod Fishing | Two Piece Micro Fly Rod Quick TripWas out this morning and had saw a chance to fish the feeder creek at the local pond. Good thing I keep the Micro Fly Rod handy... this one is the two piece micro fly rod made from a broken 8wt fly rod. Saw a nice bass in the culvert that runs from the feeder creek to the pond. Also, saw several smaller bass but none wanted to bite. Did lose a couple of Bluegill and land one Bluegill that went for the Guadalupana. Did call it quits... too cold, but just in time to miss the snow that came in shortly after!

Drainage Canal Fishing | GoFish Cam Underwater VideoScouting the drainage canal with the GoFishCam where I went fishing the other day. Knew there were fish but now have a better idea of what is lurking below. Did not see the nice bass in the culvert from the other day, but did see one that would have been fun to catch on the micro fly rod. Also, got some footage of the fish lurking in the pond, too. Did but catch anything; it was cold but was able to stay out long enough to drain the camera battery down!

Pond Fishing | GoFish Cam and Scouting for FishAnother pond fishing video where I try to scout the local pond for potential bruiser fish. Turned out mainly small fish but did have a promising strike on a bread bait of a Catfish. The underwater video is tough to make it out but luckily, I was able to see it pass through the led light while standing on the bank when it struck. Took the bobber under and the hook broke off. No worries... will be back once the pond clears up!

Quick Update after fishing the Blue! Stopped at Scotty's Blue River One Stop to pick up more Pat's Rubber Legs - pattern tied by Zach Flatt. Bought three and fished the Blue; was able to limit out using them, but ended up losing them all to snags! Turned out... they were out of stock. Will make it a point to pick-up more first chance I get! Do check back... will get today's video posted later this week!

Turner Falls Park Fishing | Rainbow Trout Were Picky!Able to make it yesterday - Saturday - January 23, 2021 to Turner Falls Park for Rainbow Trout fishing. Was not able to fish the Park when they stocked Rainbow Trout late last year. No worries was there yesterday. The trout are still there but were extremely "picky". Tried different fishing flies including the Pat's Rubber Leg, Near Deere, Megaworms, Mop Flies, Dry Flies, and Midges. After removing the strike indicator, had several take an Olive Near Deere managing only one trout and missing the other two. Fishing buddy caught four on Powerworms fished with a split shot and near bottom. Water was clear and could see the trout react to different baits and fishing flies. Was different than past trips... more vegetation clobbering the river made for tough fishing. Had to locate open areas and fish the pockets and holes. Also, there were more campers and fishermen than in past trips. However, area was not crowded; trout were just "picky"! PS: Also, learned barbless hooks were required; different than past seasons. And, did note the warning signs concerning wild hogs... definitely saw signs of them.
