Celebration Park - Bullheads and Catfish On Bread....
Decided to checkout the Catfish at Celebration Park's East Pond. Caught a few Bullheads and one Catfish that went about 16". Not a bad outing on a nice day!
The angle of the Catfish picture makes it look smaller than 16". Bear with us as we work on better photos.... Regardless, still fun to catch them on Bread and light tackle!

Limited Out At Prosper... Used a BH Leech and a "Powerbait Hook" Trailer!
Decided to fish Whitley Place Park using flyfishing gear this morning.... Had a few strikes yesterday but could not hook up with the Trout. Used a BH Olive Wooley Bugger and Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph yesterday.
Today, went with a BH Leech that we picked up from Scotty's One Stop Shop on a trip to the Blue River last year. And then, replaced the Nymph trailer with a Size 14 Wet Fly Hook modified by adding a part of a ballpoint pen spring!
Had tried other ways to cast Powerbait using a flyfishing gear with limited success. Today, the design - calling it the "Powerbait Hook", allowed for normal flycasting without losing the bait!
Going to keep this one in our backpocket when all else is not working....

Whitley Place Park Still Producing Limits!
Fished Whitley Place Park in Prosper this morning. Really nice day with comfortable temps.... Made even better by the limit of Trout caught. Used Orange Powerbait to take them. Did try a few fishing flies; some light strikes but no solid hook-ups. Others were limiting out; looked like Powerbait and Corn continued to be consistent producers!
FYI: Been getting a number of request from Readers on where the pond is located. Checkout out yesterday's post; it provides directions to the Pond from the city of Allen.

Directions to Whitley Place Park...
Here are directions to Whitley Place Park in Prosper for Readers interested in fishing for Rainbow Trout. May be a chance to get a little practice in before the Trout Derbies scheduled next weekend in Frisco and McKinney!
The pond was stocked last weekend, the city of Prosper held a Trout Derby, and fishing pressure has been heavy.... So, the action may be hit or miss.
The pond with the pavillion and bridge is the one stocked with Trout.
Good luck and good fishing!

What To Do With a Limit of Trout....
What to do with a limit of Trout? Season with Salt, Pepper, and Seasoned Salt, then fry them in an iron skillet. Ran out of propane though. No worries, fired up the "campfire grill" and got a hot fire going in no time!

Trout Limit At Whitley Place Park!
Was able to try a new place that we had not been to before - Whitley Place Park in Prosper. Limited out on Trout using Orange Powerbait. And, caught several Sunfish and a Trout on a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph and a Bead Head Prince Nymph, respectively. Fun time, just was not sure about the place as it is located in a subdivision. PS: Finally caught a fish using the new fishing reel!
