The action was consistent but I couldn't get the goldfish interested enough in my flies before other fish would swoop in. Eventually I decided to call it a day but I'm sure I will make it back here at some point. I have gold fever.

Golden Boy
There is a park close to where I live where there is a bridge over a small creek. One of the routes I take when I take Foxy for her daily walks takes us over this bridge.
I always look at the water when I walk over the bridge. The other day I noticed that there was a pretty large goldfish swimming around in the water. It was orange in color and pretty easy to see. I thought it would be awesome to catch a goldfish on the fly.
This morning I went there to give it a shot.
I was surprised to see that there was actually two goldfish in this pool. Can you see them?
They are right there.
I caught a Bullhead.
And many Sunfish came to hand.
I even caught a Largemouth Bass.
Keep trying Eddie! I think that would be cool to check a goldfish off the list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Howard! I will do my best.
DeleteYou could get a goldfish bowl and experiment with the fly patterns right there in the comfort of your own home!
ReplyDelete"Yeah, I can hit a goldfish bowl at 50 feet... What, can't you?"
Next: neon tetras!
I could do that but I would have to put 50 small Sunfish, 3 Largemouth Bass and 2 Bullhead in the bowl as well. The trick would be to find a fly that the other fish ignore and the goldfish go crazy for.
