Back to Murphy City Hall Pond This Round (Feb 22, 2015)

Made it back to Murphy City Hall Pond before the front arrived. Used an Olive/Brown Near Deere, PowerBait, and a Super Duper to limit out!

Fishing Buddy hooked up with three on PowerBait, one on a Black Super Duper, and one on an Olive/Brown Near Deere. I took a limit on the fly with an Olive/Brown Near Deere.

Saw others hooking up as well! Not sure what they were using but the Trout were biting! Now it's time to bundle up and prepare for the colder temps and freezing conditions.

What I Did To Limit Out on Trout... Five Steps! [2-23-2022]

Originally published February 23, 2022

This round I demonstrate the five steps I follow that helped me limit out on Trout. Do give it a try, and let us know how it worked for you!

Step 1 - Observe

• Where are the trout lurking?
• What are others doing that is/isn't working?

Step 2 - What worked before?

• Try lures and retrieves that worked from past trips
• Do the same, else try varying the presentation

Step 3 - What is Different?

• Did something change - warmer, colder?
• Has the wind changed?

Step 4 - Give them what they want!

• Try different lures
• Change the retrieve
• Note any indication of a strike

Step 5 - Catch a limit!

• Once you catch one, repeat
• If the bite stops, adjust by changing lures again

Super Dupers and Bubble Fly Rigs at Bethany Lakes [12-22-2014]

Bethany Lakes Fishing Report

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!

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.
• Action remained steady for the rig (see the section titled Bubble Fly Rig in the article "Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing - Community Lakes")

Waterloo Park Pond in Denison

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.

The Day Before... Bethany Lakes Trout Stocking [12-14-2014]

[Originally Posted 12-14-2014]

It's the day before the annual rainbow trout stocking at Bethany Lakes in Allen. The Team is anxious to wet a line and hook a little Stocker Trout!

However,  this year the Team will miss tomorrow's fun as they will be attending a graduation ceremony back at Aggieland. The Team will  be in full force in College Station to be sure it is no hoax but one of own is graduating!

That said, for those able to make it tomorrow, the Team suggested posting the video from last year's opening day at Bethany. The video is posted below; do check it out. 

Key items from that day were:

• PowerBait worked initially but the action slowed but remained steady
• Gold Super Duper on a steady retrieve did not work
• Gold Super Duper on a stop and go retrieve worked
• Trout tended to strike as the lure fluttered down while stopped

Also, last year the weather was sunny and cool; this year it looks like rain and overcast conditions are expected. Not sure how it will affect the fishing; be prepared to switch baits and lures accordingly!

Till next time... Good Luck and Good Fishing!
