February 21, 2009 - Trout Derby @ Towne Lake Update.

Fishing buddy and I participated in the Trout Derby at McKinney's Towne Lake. Large crowd with tight quarters did not hold us back. Able to limit out on Trout. Fished the bottom using Corn. Able to land one, switched to Bread without a strike, changed bait to Orange Powerbait. Success - remainder were caught on Powerbait. Used the Carolina-Rigged Corn set-up described in our other webpage. Check of stomach contents showed empty stomachs for all but two Trout. Of the two, one had Corn and the other had Orange Powerbait. Fun time with a lot of action. Even saw a nice looking Bass caught! Today's Pictures.

McKinney Trout Derby @ Towne Lake

Checked the City of McKinney website and noticed a Trout Derby is planned for Saturday, 21 February. May give it a go despite the cold front forecasted tomorrow.

February 16, 2009 - Work and No Play Today, But...

All work and no play today.  But, am looking forward to more Trout fishing this weekend.  Towne Lake in McKinney will receive a Trout Stocking on Sunday, 22 February!

 

For those who can breakaway from work during the week, try Community Park Pond in Rowlett or Frisco Commons.  Both have received Trout Stockings on 6 and 15 February, respectively.  Be prepared and bring various baits - Corn, Bread, and Cheese and then Trout Powerbait in Chartreuse and/or Orange.

 

Stay Active, and Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Rowlett Trout Update.

Slow bite at Rowlett today but fishing buddy and I did catch several Trout. Details posted on our Weblog. Not sure if we will be able to fish again this weekend. But, we will be out and about again next weekend. Most likely in Mckinney at Towne Lake. Trout stocking is scheduled for 22 February!

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.

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.
