Another report from Bethany Lakes. This one included a video and an onsite Podcast. Zeke, who brought his dog but no fishing pole tagged along and stretched his legs while watching the action.
Here are key notes from today:
Game Warden checked fishing licenses this morning, be sure your license is up to date
Black Super Duper was the go to lure; tried gold, silver, and copper... one hit on the silver
Bubble Fly Rigs with a Black Nymph were getting strikes
PowerWorms under a Bobber were getting strikes as well
We received another report from Bethany Lakes from Glenn who noted the bite was mixed. Some fishermen were doing well catching their limit, while others were striking out.
What worked this round:
Silver Super Dupers worked well today
Gold Super Dupers were also getting struck
Sight casting to boils as well as a steady retrieve of the Super Duper helped get strikes
As the bite slowed, switching to fishing flies helped
A Bubble Fly Rig also helped in getting the distance needed to reach active fish feeding on the surface
Below is a short video showing one fisherman bringing in a Trout using a Bubble Fly Rig!
The Team confirmed one of our own graduated with an Engineering Degree from Texas A&M University! Now, it's back to fishing again!
Bethany Lakes in Allen
Reports from the Team indicated the action Saturday morning was steady for some while slow for others. In the Team's case, one Rainbow Trout fell for an Olive Wooley Bugger at Bethany Lakes in Allen.
Key notes from the morning round were:
Slow retrieve and/or stop and go retrieve seemed to work
Casting spoons like Super Dupers in Gold and Silver and Mini-Jigs were getting strikes
Bubble Fly Rig cast to fish feeding near the surface were getting strikes
Fish were also taking PowerBait and PowerWorms
Action was steady initially but tapered off with the exception of the Bubble Fly Rig.
Saturday afternoon the action picked up when the Team headed to Waterloo Park Pond in Denison. The Team limited out using an Olive Near Deere, Copper Super Duper, and a Power Bait.
Key notes from the afternoon round were:
Near Deere was getting strikes as it sank slowly on no retrieve
Super Duper was also getting strikes as it sank slowly or when fished slow
Fish were also taking PowerBait, PowerWorms, Corn, and Salmon Eggs
PS: The city of Denison posted a sign advertising their upcoming trout derbies. Three are planned; for more details of Denison's trout derbies as well as other trout derbies, check them out in the FAQs section of StockerTroutFishing.com. It is listed under Trout Derbies.

Impromptu livestream to recap a quick trip to Bethany Lakes for some Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing – specifically, where we attempt to find the pattern using spincasting gear and ultralight spinning gear. Short on time but did manage to catch one using the Bubble Fly Rig but promptly dropped it back into the water. Check it out as we explain what we did to find the “pattern”!
