Trout Bite Was Sizzling At Bethany This Morning!

Trout bite was on this morning at Bethany Lakes. Things started out slow, but at 8AM, things were sizzling. Limited out in less than 15" using a Gold Superduper.

Special thanks to Texas Fishing Forum's "Knot at work's" trout fishing tip, ... cast to the middle, let the lure sink to the bottom, and retrieve slooooowly!

Not sure how long this pattern will last given the weather change tonight. For now, enjoying the moment....  FYI: Four of the five Trout had empty stomachs. One was filled with Corn.

Chartreuse in the Morning; Orange in the Afternoon!

Heard from Zeke on his afternoon trip back to Bethany Lakes to catch three more Trout to make his daily limit.

Report was favorable with Zeke getting his three.  Even better... Zeke brought his grandson who pulled in a five Trout limit!

Bottom-line:  Field Team reported three limits taken today. Chartreuse Trout Bait was the key in the morning and Orange Trout Bait in the afternoon

FYI: Stomach contents of the Trout caught today. Ones caught this morning were empty.  This afternoon's catch had three empty, four with Orange Trout Bait, and one with Orange as well as Chartreuse Trout Bait. Also, two looked to have digested "bread residue".

First Limit Of Trout for the Field Team This Season!

Field Team goes for another try for Trout at Bethany Lakes. One Field Team Member takes a limit; other Member (Zeke) caught two but missed a lot more.

Slow but steady action on Chartreuse Trout Bait. Zeke may come back later today to pull in three more to make a daily limit (if his reflexes get better being an old man)!

That said, first Trout limit taken by the Field Team this season!

One Trout On A Mepps Spinner.

Went back to Bethany Lakes this evening to try to catch a Trout using flyfishing gear. No luck but did take one on a Mepps Spinner!  Saw a few others catching them on Gold Superdupers, else action seemed slow....

Three Trout This Morning, Else Slow Action....

Hit Bethany Lakes early this morning for another go at Trout. Action was slow but steady in the morning, then tailed off to nothing by 9AM. Caught three Trout on Pink Trout Bait. Shifted to Orange Trout Bait and had three more hits but failed to land them. Key take away today: Pink Trout Bait in the morning; Orange Trout Bait in the day! At least for now....

First Trout Of the Season From the Field Team!

Went back to Bethany Lakes at Lunch; Trout Stocking happened and fish were being caught. Managed to hook and land one Trout using a Copper Superduper.

Did observe others catching them on Gold Superdupers. Also, had a nibble on Orange Trout Bait, none on Pink Trout Bait.

Gonna stop by later after work and see if we can pull in four more to hit our daily limit.

PS:  Returned after work and fished after dark.  Had a nibble on Pink Trout Bait. None on Orange Trout Bait.  Did see others take a few on Pink Trout Bait.  Once the sun set, a lot of surface activity with pods working the surface on both sides of the "horseshoe".  Should be interesting come first light tomorrow.

One Nibble for Trout, Else The Cormorant Limited Out!

Decided to fish for Trout in Mesquite this morning. Mesquite's City Lake received its Trout Stocking on 2 December and is scheduled to receive additional stockings every two weeks through March.

Cold morning with a drizzle made for tough conditions. Had one nibble, else zero Trout. Did see others - Cormorant, catching and eating their limits!
 

Called it quits after several hours. On the way home, made a stop at Academy (in Dallas on Forest Lane) and restocked on Trout Bait.

Found Orange and Pink; Chartreuse was out of stock. Bought Chartreuse Trout Nuggets as a back up for now. Will  be ready for them this next round!

Only One Bullhead, But Trout Stocking Next Week!

Fished Celebration Park's East Pond to test the waters. Used the same gear for Trout fishing and managed one Bullhead. Local pond, Bethany Lakes, gets its Trout stocking next Friday; hope to mix it up with them soon!

Zeke Finds an Aggie Ring!

One of our field members has been doing double duty fishing and metal detecting.  Got the word about one find.  An Aggie Ring found while searching for coins.  Even more interesting is how quickly it was returned to its owner after being lost for 5 years!
