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!

Highland Park @ Lake Lavon
Fished the boat ramp at Highland Park. Caught a fingerling Catfish, a small Yellow Bass, and a Gaspergou. All were caught using Surfcasting gear and Nightcrawlers for bait. Saw others catching Gaspergou (Freshwater Drum) on Shad. Also, Shad were in the area and within cast net range of the boat ramp.

Lake Lavon - June 20, 2009
Took the opportunity to scout out a few areas around Lake Lavon this morning. Checked out the Bridge off of FM3286, Highland Park, and Brockdale Park. Overall fishing seemed slow but did notice some action by Highland Park - Shad by the Boat Ramp and a Gaspergou (Drum) caught on a Nightcrawler.

Archgate Park in Plano
Stopped by Archgate Park in Plano this evening. Caught a Bluegill on a Bubble and Popper Rig. Hooked but lost a Bass while landing near shore. Switched to a Roadrunner without success. Promising location but fishing from the bank is challenging as the brush is much higher since our last visit.

Surfcasting for White Bass
Back to Brockdale Park at Lake Lavon this evening. Hit the point with Surfcasting Gear again and managed to hook 5 White Bass. One was a keeper, the rest were too small. Regardless, released them for another day.
