February 6, 2009 - Warmer Temps This AM; Allen Station Dam.

Warmer temps this morning made for a comfortable run. Took a route that went by Allen Station Dam. Fished there several times last year. Mainly small Sunfish and Bluegill. Water was low but flowing. Really murky with clarity being less than one foot. No fish activity noted.

February 4, 2009 - On The Run.

Stayed on the run despite a cold morning.  Route went by Celebration Park, past Auburn Springs Ponds (misstated as Autumn Springs in yesterday's post), along Exchange Parkway, and several Elementary Schools.

 

No activity noted at Auburn Springs, but am still keeping it in mind for the Spring.  Keep hearing about some Bass being taken.

 

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

February 3, 2009 - On the Road with an MP3.

Back out on the road again with a 5 mile run that took us by several Sub-Divisions, Celebration Park, and Autumn Springs Ponds. Steady pace and an MP3 made for a comfortable workout. Although the temps were warmer than the other day, observed minimal surface activity by the ponds at Celebration and Autumn Springs.

Been loading songs from the She and Him CD onto an MP3 player. Zooey Deschanel, actress with a voice in the movie "Elf", does a great job singing, especially when accompanied by an acoustic guitar only. Also, added a few "Old 97's" songs at key intervals; faster tempo of their songs makes for a faster running pace.

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

February 2, 2009 - Out and About

Moderate paced run this morning around Celebration Park made for a good start this week. Cold morning but bearable with warm gear and the promise of a warmer afternoon. Route went by the East Pond. Stopped for a picture and to enjoy the sunrise.

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. Or, go to Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing - Community Lakes for trout fishing information on community lakes in the 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.

Today's Catch.

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.

East Pond.

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.
