Another go at Bethany Lakes for Trout after work! Fishing buddy and I limited out in less than an hour using Chartreuse Powerbait. Tasty meals tonight!
Had stopped by in the morning and had a couple of hits on a Gold Super Duper and a Silver Super Duper. Did see others catching them on Chartreuse Powerbait and on Bread!
Overall, looks as if the Chartreuse was the ticket today!
Made it to the Bethany Lakes after work. It was well after dark when a fishing buddy and I arrived. Luckily, the action was steady, taking a 5-limit each in an hour.
Used both Orange and Chartreuse Powerbait (Trout Bait) fished with a BB Split Shot and Size 14 Baitholder Hook on the bottom. Three were caught on Orange, remainder on Chartreuse.
Did try Bread and Corn without a hit; observed another group fishing with Cheese. No hits either. Best bet is to stick with Powerbait for now.
Took a break from fishing the other day and from our other addiction (jogging), and checked out a show at the Eisemann Center in Richardson. It was a Christmas Show called "A Simply Sinatra Christmas" with Steve Lippia. Great show, especially liked the joke Steve told!
Check it out for a chuckle or two.... see link.
Stopped by Bethany Lakes this morning for a short trip. Only there for 10" but had zero hits on a Panther Martin Inline Spinner. Did get a tip from Zeke about an online article, "Fifty Ways to Cook Trout". Checked it out, looks like some tasty recipes to try!
Also, for area fishermen, please feel free to send trout fishing reports to coaf.weblog@live.com; each year we collate fishing reports from our Field Team (and various sources), and then post results as general reference for our Readers.
The last one posted was earlier this week but keep checking back, we plan to post an updated "Summary of Lures/Baits Used for Trout" next week.
Field Test of Trout Lures did not pan out this evening at Bethany Lakes. A lot of surface activity but no hits on Gold Super Duper, Mepps Spinner, or the Panther Martin Inline Spinner. Will restart at a later date.
Switched to Orange Powerbait and limited out in about 15". Observed other limits taken on Orange Powerbait. Check of stomach contents showed, Orange Powerbait and Corn in four Trout. Remaining Trout was empty!
Fished the bottom using a BB Shot and Size 14 Baitholder Hook.
Decided to restock the tackle box with Super Dupers, Mepps Spinners, and Panther Martin Inline Spinners. Going to run a "non-scientific" field test to see which lures to use for a given pond (stocked with Trout). Have had success with them in the past. Will let our Readers know what we discover!
Stopped by Bethany Lakes this morning to see how the cold front impacted the pattern. Front has them lockjawed with no hits on lures or fishing flies. Only a brief outing; too cold for this Texan (rod guides were freezing up).
Returned at Noon and caught another "Green Trout" on a Superduper. And, did see one fisherman limit out using Pink/Chartreuse Powerbait! Looks like Powerbait over lures is the key post-cold front....
Received an update from Zeke this evening. One Trout caught on the fly using an Olive Wooley Bugger. First Trout flyfishing this season for the Field Team. Great work!
Stopped by at lunch to check out the Trout action at Bethany Lakes. A few were caught on Gold Superdupers and Roostertails, else much slower action than the morning. Did catch a "Green Trout" (Bass) on a Superduper!
Trout bite was on this morning at Bethany Lakes. Things started out slow, but at 8AM, things were sizzling. Limited out in less than 15" using a Gold Superduper.
Special thanks to Texas Fishing Forum's "Knot at work's" trout fishing tip, ... cast to the middle, let the lure sink to the bottom, and retrieve slooooowly!
