March 1, 2009 - Towne Lake Trout Fishing Update.

Fished the early afternoon and limited out on Trout. Fished Corn on the bottom and Bread free-lined. Cormorant showed up and started taking their share. Best bet is to fish Towne Lake soon.

Summary of Lures/Baits Used for Trout.

Summary of lures and baits used for Trout during the 2008-2009 Season. Information is based on observations and postings submitted by the Field Team as of February 23, 2009. Summary will be the final report for the season.

Chart 1 shows the top 3 lures/baits for Trout this season were Powerbait, Corn, and Super Dupers with Powerbait being a consistent producer compared to other lures/baits.

Chart 2 shows the top 3 Powerbaits were Orange, "Not Stated", and Chartreuse. In the case of "Not Stated", no color details were available for a given observation.

Summary of Powerbaits Used For Trout - Chart 2

Bottomline: Bring Powerbait, Corn, and Super Dupers when pursuing Trout in the local community lakes and ponds. For Powerbait, Orange and Chartreuse colors are recommended. A closer look at the data further suggests using Super Dupers in Gold and Silver and Rooster Tails in White and Yellow.

Good luck and good fishing!

February 22, 2009 - "Gold" Trout @ Towne Lake.

Decided to fish Towne Lake in McKinney this morning while the bite is still on. Caught a limit that included one "Gold" Trout. See weblog for more details.

February 22, 2009 - 4 Rainbows and a "Gold" Trout!

Continued success at McKinney's Towne Lake with another limit of Trout - 4 Rainbows and 1 "Gold" Trout. All were caught using Orange Powerbait but did get strikes on Corn, Bread, and a Gold Super Duper. Checked stomach contents. All had Corn, two had Orange Power Bait, and one had Bread. Observed others taking limits with Powerbait and lures - Gold Super Dupers, Silver Super Dupers, and Spinners. Also, noted several people flyfishing but could not tell if they were successful.

McKinney Trout Derby Update

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!
