Denison Dam Tailrace - May 29, 2009

Ran up the road to Denison Dam to fish the tailrace. Heard reports that the fishing activity was looking promising. Arrived around 7:45PM and fished well past dark. Had three strikes but failed to land them. Still a good trip. Even made a short video clip to show the waterflow at the tailrace. Added some pictures from past trips as a reminder (incentive) to keep trying!

Celebration Park - East Pond

Fished the East Pond at Celebration Park in Allen just after 5:30 PM today. Used Bread for bait in hopes of enticing some of the "Bruiser" Catfish that reside in the pond. Had good luck with Bread last year. Caught 5 small Channel Catfish and 4 Bullheads but no "Bruisers". Still a good trip with a much needed break from the work week. Took some pictures but was unable to post them. Channel Catfish went about 12" and the Bullheads about 9" to 10" in size. Good luck and good fishing!

Update: Was able to post pictures.

Back @ Bethany.

Back to Bethany this morning. Went for the Catfish but hooked none. Instead, caught and released 2 turtles. Better luck next time.

Bass Spawn @ Bethany Lakes

Bass are in the shallows on their spawning beds at Bethany Lakes.  A lot of string algae but the beds are clearly visible from the bank.  Had a few strikes but no solid hook sets this evening.  Better luck next time!

May 13, 2009 - Catfish Are Back @ Bethany.

Fished Bethany Lakes this evening. Caught 3 Catfish that went about 16" in size; lost several others. Used Bread for bait and the same light tackle gear used for Trout this season. Looks as if the Catfish are back courtesy of the Fishing Derby this past weekend. Fun stuff! Click-on DFW Fishing News for more fishing information in the Metroplex area.
