Slight Rain Delay

Our inability to post fishing reports due to the recent rains is giving us withdrawals. We are listening intently for reports from several locations in our area - Denison Dam, Lake Lavon, and Lake Lewisville Ecological Learning Area. When the dams are releasing water, the fish activity seems to pickup in the tailraces. So far, no confirmed reports but will keep an eye out.

FYI: An example of the Real Time (Hydropower) Release for Denison Dam is provided in the link. The information is delayed 15" to 30" and may prove useful when planning a trip.

Bethany Ridge Park Pond - 5 Bluegill and 3 Bullheads

Bethany Ridge Park Pond

Checked out the pond at Bethany Ridge Park.  Had to call it short when I lost my lure but did observe activity along the bank. Looks promising; just need to bring along more than one lure on these quick trips.

April 25, 2009 - No Repeat @ Stoney Hollow Park

Checked out the pond at Stoney Hollow Park in Plano. Hoped for a repeat of the last trip - 15 Bass on an Olive Wooley Bugger. No go this time. Only managed to catch one Bass. Had other strikes and saw several Bass chasing my fishing fly but nothing solid. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

April 24, 2009 - Bethany Again.

Quick trip to Bethany Lakes again. Tried to get the Bass to strike while in their beds. Can see them easily in the shallows but only managed to get one to strike. May need to shift to Lake Lavon and try hitting the points for White Bass and Yellow Bass using the kayak. Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.

Bethany Lakes AM

Stopped by Bethany Lakes this morning. No hook-ups but Bass were following my lure. Bass seemed to be near the pier and near the "pipe area" in the Upper Pond. Can see them on their beds. May need to switch to an "aggravator" type lure.

April 20, 2009 - Sunfish, a Bluegill and 2 Bass

Fished the Bethany Lakes Canal and Upper Pond. Caught Sunfish in the Canal and a Bruiser Bluegill and two small Bass in the Upper Pond. Checked out the Lower Pond; water level is low!
