This round we discuss fishing opportunities at Denison Dam - tailrace to Lake Texoma, and the Nlue River Catch and Release area in Oklahoma.
Yours truly was unable to go fishing this weekend. But, not deterred, can always talk about fishing as well as watch fishing videos in preparation for our next fishing trip.
Do checkout the livestream, and do checkback... plan to use this format for providing timely updates to our Viewers!

Fun time in Denison today. Nuclaroche and I fished Waterloo Park Pond. After a lot of missed hook sets to rising trout feeding on little, black bugs, we figured out the pattern - a COAF Griffith's Gnat in Size 16!
The Trout started out taking dry flies on a dead drift but as the wind picked up and the insects started "skittering" on the surface more, the Trout were wanting more movement on the dry fly.
Fun day, especially being able to catch them on dry flies. Also, had lots of fun casting and catching fish using the COAF Micro Fly Rod!

Saturday morning... Looks like the rain is letting up. Checked the local ponds and noted water levels are up.
Have not heard from the Team about the action at Bethany Lakes but will post an update as soon as they report in.
That said, here is a picture showing the water is flowing at Bethany Creek Pond (just up the road from Bethany Lakes)!

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:

Lucked out and was able to fish Denison Dam – tailrace to Lake Texoma, two days in a row. First day, temps were in the 90s and the river was flowing while they were generating power. Next day, cold front rolled in, dropping the temps to the 60s. No power generations, minimal water flow… able to observe what a difference a day makes – specifically, the river and the change in water level.

PS: Used Trout Fishing Rig #3 as noted in the online article - PowerBait Fishing Rigs for Rainbow Trout. The pond at Waterloo has a fountain that made a strong current where the Trout were lurking. The rig worked well and held in place and made for more consistent hook ups!
