Bethany Lakes Trout

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening. Had a late start due to work. Regardless, was able to wet a line and hook a few. Opted to fish various baits in lieu of lures, but did see others taking them on Gold Supers Dupers and Kastmasters. Did not get a bite until 7PM; stuck it out till 11PM when the park closed. Caught two more for a total of three Trout. All were taken using Chartreuse Powerbait. Other baits used but failed to produce were: Corn, Cheese with Garlic, Bread, Salmon Eggs, and Orange Powerbait. Fished the Chartreuse and Orange side by side, not a nibble on the Orange. Don't know what the difference was given it was night. Thought it was chance, but checked stomach contents and found one empty and two with only Chartreuse Powerbait (see inset in the photo below). Not sure what it really means, other than they will be hungry tomorrow. Today's Catch. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

Cold Morning; Bluegill Still Biting.

Fished Bethany Lakes this morning to sample the fishing. Not sure how the cold weather affected the pattern since we last fished.

Decided to flyfish a Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymph to locate the Bluegill. Tried a number of spots throughout the park, finally locating a school in the Back Pond in about 6' to 8' of water. Sampling of today's catch posted below.

Cold morning with temps starting at 27F Degrees; luckily the Bluegill continued to strike on a slow retrieve.

Slight Delay.

Having a slight delay in posting fishing reports; been tied up with work. Hoping with the upcoming holidays will be able to hit the local ponds and catch Trout.

Was able to take a break from the daily grind and participate in the city of Allen's 5K Rudolph Run. About 1500+ runners participated despite the cold "below freezing" morning.

Good luck and good fishing!
