Plan was to fish Waterloo Park Pond in Denison with Centerpin Combo but switched last minute to a One-Handed Spey Fly Fishing Combo that used the OPST Commando Head 175grn on a 4wt, 8ft fly rod. Cold and windy morning, I decided to keep it simple and use on fishing fly - an Olive Near Deere. I would adjust my retrieve and depth until I limited out. Do check out the video where I find the pattern limit out! Note: I used a 175 grain not a 200 grain OPST Commando Head that was mentioned in the video.

That is the fewest people i have ever seen at Waterloo, lol

Try watching you fly line like you would watch a strike indicator. YouTube Shorts showing when I set the hook when I don't use an indicator. Give it a try next trip!

Focus on quality fly line, then the rod, and then a reel. Unless fishing for species that need a drag. Video shows you don't n.eed a reel to catch a trout. Using a quality wf flyline $9.99 fly rod and no fly reel!

Video of last Sunday's trip to a new place... pond in Rockwall, Texas. Check out the video, key item to suggest is to try the retrieve I used to limit out - The Twitch and Stop Retrieve! Harry Meyers Park in Rockwall has two ponds... there is a third one but it may not have been stocked with trout. Stocked with Rainbow Trout last weekend, I decided to check out the Park and maybe wet a line and limit out on trout. When I arrived, I quickly noticed how small the ponds were. No worries though, I observed a number of fishermen catching trout using lures and bait. For yours truly, I opted for fly fishing. #flyfishing #fishing #tips

Wanted to see if shaping a foam grasshopper body was necessary to catch fish. Tried a simple rectangle, worked for Bluegill!
