Welcome Fishermen!

Welcome to the City Of Allen Fishing Web Log.

Our intent is to provide fishing reports on the city lakes located at Celebration and Bethany Parks in Allen.

In addition, we plan to provide fishing reports on ponds and creeks, such as Bethany Ridge, Suncreek Park, and Allen Station Dam, and others located throughout the city.

On occasion, we will include fishing reports on area lakes visited such as Lavon Lake, Denison Dam Tailrace, Lake Lewisville Ecological Learning Area, McKinney Towne Lake, etc.

Good luck and good fishing!

Bethany Lakes: June 8, 2007

Fished Bethany Lakes lower and back ponds.  Caught Bluegill and Sunfish. No Bass but still seeing them in their spawning beds.  They seem unwilling to bite.  Will need to try another approach else wait for the spawn to be over.
