MotoFlyfishing
« on: June 03, 2018, 02:01:52 pm »
 Not many fishing reports lately so I figured I'd post this topic on a different way to go flyfishing. No boat, Kayak or canoe!! but on a motorcycle.
I've made a few trips in the last couple of months on my bike to Lake Kincade, Poverty Point and the Oil and Gas Park in Jennings.
Not much luck so far but I'm not giving up. I just need to find some good water and believe me clean water around Abbeville is hard to find.

 If you are interested check out this post on Adventure Rider especially the one where the guy builds his own bamboo rod.
I threw a trout to the horizon when I was slapping the fly on the water behind me trying to learn how to cast. Apparently he grabbed on right before...

Oil Park Pond is usually as reliable as it gets, so if it's tough fishing that's not good.  It's been very tough on Kincaid lately.  I have no idea why, but the water is about 1.5 feet below normal and very clear - even by Kincaid standards - so the fish may be in deeper water.

If you've gone to Poverty Point, then you passed up Caney Lake and that's a good spot to bank fish.  There's a state park there to camp. 

Have you thought about Toledo Bend?  You can camp and fish on either side of the lake. As long as you're fishing the lake, you don't need a Texas license (although I have one).  If you go there in the fall, find a campground that has docks.  The crappie fishing off the docks that time of year is as good as it gets.

Catch
  Even the guys fishing with bait at the Oil and Gas park weren't catching anything.  Poverty Point Reservoir was stirred up due to a front so conditions were not good for anyone.
I'll check out Toledo Bend for sure and may go there in the fall. Too hot for camping right now.

Thanks for the info

Cool

I toured Europe on a 1973-BMW R75 in the 70s.....Now I own several Harley's and a Valkyrie I'm working on .... after years on bikes ..my age and cold weather cramps my fingers so bad it makes it a fair weather type sport.....bet you thought I would say I gave up riding...NOPE  Its so enjoyable on sunny warm days !  And I enjoy biker friends too much !

Me and a buddy had made plans to bike / Fly fish Arkansas but before we could travel on our  Fly fishing /wild hog style trip  he stroked out and died not ever finishing that trip......This past fall I sprinkled some of his ashes into the little red river at his last request.  And said farewell to one of those rare life long hunting and fishing buddy's..  Funny my next cast I caught the largest rainbow trout of my week long trip !  I thanked my buddy that night and toasted to his memory with a Macallan single malt his favorite !
