Field Team Plus One... Limits Out At Waterloo!

Was able to breakaway from the Holiday Gathering and go back to Waterloo for more Trout.  Colder temps compared to the other day but action remained hot!

Field Team - NucLaroche and Fshng84, plus one of our Holiday Guests took three limits of Trout making for a hearty breakfast tomorrow morning!

Two Trout were caught flyfishing.  Used the same setup we use on the Blue River - Olive Wooley Bugger with a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph.  Both Trout struck the Nymph in lieu of the Wooley Bugger.

All others were caught using Orange Powerbait.  Trout seemed to prefer Orange over Chartreuse today.  Good stuff, despite the cold!

PS:  Even had a Hawk checking us (or the fishing action) from the trees nearby.

Waterloo Continues to Produce Trout... Fishing Flies Are Working!

Fished Waterloo in Denison today for one last hurrah before personal commitments pull the Field Team away from fishing...! Good decision to go. Temps were warm and the action was hot. Had a great time catching them on Powerbait, Olive Wooley Buggers, and Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymphs!

Trout were readily taking Powerbait Trout Nuggets in Chartreuse and Trout Bait in Orange. Action on fishing flies was slower but steady with strikes coming on slow to no retrieves! Just let the fishing fly slowly sink and prepare for the strike!

Another good day of fishing was had by the Field Team!

Cooked Trout, More Trout At Waterloo, and Restocked Powerbait!

Cooked yesterday's catch for dinner... a great tasting meal was enjoyed.  Decided to return to Waterloo Park Pond in the morning to go for another limit!  Good decision....

Fast action on Powerbait Trout Nuggets; fishing buddy and I limited out in about 40" with five Trout each. Would have been quicker but wanted to catch the last one using flyfishing gear which took about 15" to catch it.

Trout were striking the fishing fly rig - a Wooley Bugger with a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph trailer, they just were not taking the fly tending more to tapping it lightly. Finally managed to hook one on a slowwwwwwww retrieve.

On the way back home, stopped at Gander Mountain in Sherman and restocked on Powerbait - Trout Bait, Trout Worms, and Glitter Trout Bait, and Size 12 and 14 Hooks! PS: Shelves were fully stocked with a wide selection of Powerbaits!



Gander Mountain Shelves Were Stocked!



Field Team Limited Out... Trout Meet Their Waterloo at Waterloo (Denison)

Field Team limited out this afternoon at Waterloo Park in Denison! Took less than 45" to catch them. Action was fast and steady. Caught all on Pink Powerbait. Fishing Buddy fished with light Spinning Gear; opted to try the Bamboo Stake Rod. Lotta fun... and good eating, too!

No Trout This Trip, But It Was a Nice Sunset!

A few fishermen were catching them on bait at Bethany Lakes this evening.  Decided to try fishing flies and struck out even though they were feeding readily on the surface. Tried Wooley Buggers, Nymphs, and Dry Flies without a hit. Better luck next round... No Trout this trip, but it was a nice sunset!

Bite Slowed Down.... Caught Three Trout and a Catfish!

Took a Fishing Buddy to Bethany Lakes in hopes of a limit for him this evening.  No go... bite started out well but slowed considerably after dark.  Buddy caught three Trout on Chartreuse Powerbait and a Catfish on Corn before it got dark.  Soon after, had zero strikes....  Hoping the weather change and the warmer temps were the cause of the slow down and not from Cormorant cleaning out the pond.

Powerbait Lands Four Trout, Corn Gets One....

Made it back to Bethany Lakes this evening.  The bite earlier was slow with one Trout caught on a Silver Super Duper.  Tonight it picked up with three Trout caught on Chartreuse Powerbait and one Trout on Corn in about 45"!

Another fisherman also caught one on Powerbait... Fluorescent Green with Garlic flavoring.  See the biggest Trout in the picture below.

So far, Powerbait remains the "go to" bait but am seeing a number of Trout with Corn in their stomachs when cleaning them.

One On A Silver Super Duper.... At Bethany Today.

Quick trip to Bethany at lunch today.  Went with a Gold Super Duper and a Gold Kastmaster without a strike.  Switched to a Silver Super Duper and caught one Trout.... Action was slow with a few Trout being taken.  Hope it picks up later in the evening!

Powerbait Continues to Produce Trout at Bethany Lakes

Fished Bethany Lakes after dark... brought Corn but decided to go with Powerbait.  Action was steady for about an hour, and then slowed the second hour. Managed to catch a limit of Trout - three on Pink and two on Chartreuse.  Also, lost one that went for Chartreuse while landing it. Fun stuff....!

When cleaning the Trout afterwards, did notice that several Trout had gorged on Corn!  Good to know the Trout are feeding on Corn.  Has been tough finding Powerbait.  Still using last year's stock.

PS: Did meet one of Readers and his Dad this evening.  Great to meet other avid fishermen in the Field, especially when the fish are biting!
