February 14, 2009 - "3+2=5" At Rowlett.

Had a late start this morning but made it to the Community Park Pond in Rowlett for more Trout Fishing. Slower bite than last weekend. Caught three; fishing buddy caught two. Total of 5 Trout for the day. Largest went slightly over 12". All were caught using Corn fished on the bottom. Hits were 10 to 20 yards from shore. Check of stomach contents showed bits of Corn and/or Chartruese Powerbait. Today's Catch: "3+2=5". 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.

February 14, 2009 - Getting Ready.

Getting ready to head out for more Trout Fishing.  Will report back on how we do; just need to bundle up as it is cold.  Had to work this morning but did find out about a website that lets you create a "radio station" using music genres that you pick.  Here is one we created to test it out -  radio station.

 

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

February 8, 2009 - Rowlett Trout Stocking - Update

After missing a few turns along the way, was able to find Community Park (Pond A) in the city of Rowlett.  Fishing buddy and I limited out using Corn.  Observed a number of others taking limits with Corn and Powerbait.  Will post more details on our weblog.

February 8, 2009 - Two Limits at Rowlett.

Fished Community Park Pond in Rowlett this morning. Fishing buddy and I limited out on Trout using Corn for bait. Fished deep and used a Carolina-Rigged Corn set-up to fish the bottom.

Observed a number of others taking limits and noted a steady bite throughout the morning. A check of stomach contents revealed mainly empty stomachs. Two Trout did have Powerbait in Pink. But, would not limit colors to only Pink; heard from others that Chartreuse and Orange were working as well.

Trout ranged in size from 9" to 12" with one larger one hooked but lost at landing. Noted others taking an occasional 12"+ sized Trout.

Community Park, Rowlett.

Two Trout Limit.

February 7, 2009 - Rowlett Trout Stocking

Started early this morning to knockout a workout but stayed indoors and ran on the treadmill.  No fishing for us today but have heard the City of Rowlett stocked their community pond yesterday with limits taken on Corn reported!

 

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Bethany Ridge Park Pond - 2 Bluegill On The Fly!

With the warm temps today, decided to wet a line and flyfish Bethany Ridge Park Pond. Went to a favored spot where Bluegill and Sunfish like to hide.

A lot of short strikes from the small guys. But did manage to set the hook on two Bluegill. Used a Bead Head Nymph and let it sink slowly.

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.
