David has found success fly fishing in Albuquerque, NM. We fished a place called Tingley Park this morning. David connected with an 11" Rainbow on a 4wt fly rod. Good job bud!

Sunset Largemouth
What an awesome day! Maybe I enjoyed work today because I caught a bass this morning. The good vibes must have carried over to tonight because David and I hit Woodglenn at the last minute and scored. The sun was setting and this beautiful largemouth smashed the same popper that elicited this morning’s strike. I have learned that a rapid retrieve with a popper can really turn on the bass bite.
Early Morning Fly Fishing
I started the day off right this morning; snuck out to Lake Royal, scored about a dozen bream and a bass and still made it to work on time. Twenty minutes in I had only a bluegill and a nice sunrise to show for my efforts. Then the bluegill bite came on and I decided that I would make a few final casts near a weed bed to see if I could hook a bass. It worked. While I missed the initial roll on my popper my dropper turned out to be true “insurance fly.”

Lake Mercer
Catching a two-pound bass becomes an emotional event after you have been out done by a four year old. I hit Lake Mercer this morning fresh from David's taunts for having not caught a bass yesterday (reminded repeatedly that he caught one). After a slow start, I got a small bass with the old reliable green plastic worm. I later connected with a two-pounder with my other reliable bass bait, the 3 1/2" white tube, as the clock was winding down. I think I have a new fishing spot.

David's First Bass
David has arrived early to the world of bass fishing by landing 12" largemouth on a small crankbait less than a month past his fourth birthday. He has also taken to the world of smack talking by force by reminding me that I did not catch a bass today. For every bluegill I pulled in David had to mention that he caught a bass. He also caught a couple bluegill on a fly rod. Way to go bud!

Bluegill Slayers
David and I hit Woodglenn tonight and traumatized a generation of bluegills with our fly rods. While bass are always the ultimate goal, a bluegill on nearly every cast is hard to beat. Once we found the beds we got em’ by the dozen. Good times!
