February 1, 2009 - No Running, More Fishing, Superbowl.

Out and about early this morning.  No running today - time to rest and recover from the aches and pains.

 

Running shoes and treadmill workouts have helped reduce the aches; will see what the next week's weather brings.  If not too cold, will opt for an outdoor workout.

 

Trout fishing has been good at Waterloo Park Pond in Denison.  Fishing buddy and I limited out yesterday and this morning.  The Park's pond received a Trout stocking last weekend; seems the fish have settled in and are actively feeding. Posted more info on our weblog.

 

Have a few errands to run today, else will be watching the Superbowl; mainly for the commercials.  Hoped to see the Cowboys this year but the Season did not go well.  Maybe next year!

 

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Another Trip to Waterloo.

Another trip to Waterloo Park Pond in Denison this morning. Fishing buddy and I lucked out with limits of 5 Trout each using a Carolina Rigged Corn set-up again. Largest went about 11" in size. Tried flyfishing briefly when we noticed a lot of surface activity. Did not get any strikes, so we went back to bait. Checked stomach contents; most were empty but a few had remnants of Powerbait it Chartreuse and Pink. Yesterday's catch had mostly Corn with some Powerbait Nuggets in Chartreuse and Orange. Opted to stay with Corn, cheaper and still getting limits and/or consistent strikes. Today's Catch Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

January 31, 2009 - Two Limits of Trout at Waterloo!

Lucked out at Waterloo Park Pond in Denison. Fishing buddy and I caught a limit of 5 Trout each using a Carolina Rigged Corn set-up. Largest went 12" in size. Steady strikes with a lot of missed fish. Luckily managed to set the hook enough times to limit out.

January 31, 2009 - Two Limits At Waterloo!

Worked out early, and headed out on a fishing trip to Waterloo Park Pond in Denison. Fishing buddy and I limited out with 5 each. Some bigger Trout than the last trip. Will post pictures on the fishing Blog later today!

January 29, 2009 - Celebration Park East Pond

Quick trip this evening to Celebration Park. Caught a couple of small Catfish on Bread and spinfishing gear. Catfish were biting despite the cold temps. Also, noticed activity on the surface as they picked at Bread floating on the surface.

January 25, 2009 - Coffee Break; Other Thoughts!

Enjoyed a cup of coffee at Starbucks this morning. Today's plans are to let the feet rest and don't run. Would liked to have fished for Trout given the cold weather but family duties preclude fishing.

That said, thoughts are Lake Lewisville Ecological Learning Area and River Park would be good opportunities for Trout. Also, reports from the Field indicate White Bass are in the area creeks.

Denison Dam reports have been spotty. Given the drive time, suggest checking out the real time release schedule to confirm when water is flowing. Denison Dam Real Time Release.

All for now.

January 24, 2009 - Chilly Today!

Chilly today! Opted to stay indoors which meant no fishing and an indoor run on the treadmill. Did make a trip to the local library to pick up some reading material. Going to hibernate today.

January 23, 2009 - Bethany Lakes

Fished Bethany Lakes Back Pond to get in a quick trip while the warm weather was upon us. Caught a few Bluegill flyfishing a Bead Head Nymph. Waited a few seconds before retrieving line, and then used a slow retrieve to get strikes. Bluegill Today.

January 22, 2009 - Just Sunfish!

Took a quick trip to Bethany Creek Park Pond and caught a few Sunfish. Warm weather made for a comfortable outing. Fish were small but fought well on light gear. Used flyfishing gear and Nymphs to hook them in the shallows. Nothing special but good to get out after a hectic week.

Done For the Today, But Oh By The Way.

Am done for the day, but oh by the way.... while out and about, passed by Lake Lavon Dam. Noted the water was not flowing, and further downriver no water movement by the railroad trellis. Looks like the lack of rain continues to impact the area.
