FishnDave Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Took Friday off and flyfished a couple water bodies, hoping for bass, crappies, etc. Caught Bluegills, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, a Redear Sunfish, and a very strong Channel Catfish. snagged in outlet 3, Johnsfolly and Ham 3
FishnDave Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Cat stayed safe on the INSIDE of the glass, but still pretty close to the turkeys! We had an opossum on our deck last night. Its pretty high up, and there's no stairs...not sure how it managed to get there. Johnsfolly and snagged in outlet 3 2

FishnDave Posted October 25, 2021 Author Posted October 25, 2021 Sunday was a nice, although breezy, day. Decided to see if the local bullheads and goldfish were still willing to play. Turns out they were. I caught 2 Black Bullheads. They had nasty lesions on their skin, so I didn't take their pics. I caught 12 Goldfish. I did take their pics. Johnsfolly 1

As you saw, there are a bajillion goldfish there. The first key is to ignore the small ones, and look for the upper medium-size to large-size fish. I can slowly float the fly past the fish, even bump its head, and it won't react. But if I let the fly drop quickly past its head, and stop just below it, SOMETIMES the fish gets excited and will try to eat the fly. That's the second key. That's what I've learned works good at this particular spot. Johnsfolly 1

FishnDave Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 Thought maybe they were done for the season, but caught 3 more Grass Carp on Saturday. 167 for the year. Also caught a bluegill, a white bass, and 2 small channel cats. Ham and Johnsfolly 2
FishnDave Posted November 14, 2021 Author Posted November 14, 2021 After unsuccessfully trying for big striped fish in the river, I tried the koi pond. It was 36 degrees when I left the house that morning...wasn't sure if the fish would still be active in colder temps. They didn't seem to notice. I ended up with 15 Koi (66 for the year), and 5 Goldfish (71 for the year). Some really beautiful specimens in the mix! At least two Koi were recaptures from earlier this year. Goldfish: Koi: (recapture, above) (recapture, above and below is same fish)
