Two Limits at Waterloo to Start 2013!

Made it to Waterloo in Denison today for some trout fishing.  Pond was stocked recently with more Rainbow Trout!

Fshng84 used the Ross Fly Reel we picked up from Cabelas the other day and mounted it on a Three Weight Rod. NucLaroche opted for an Ultralight Spinning Rod/Reel.

Two of us fished, and two of us limited out. One limit was caught using a Guadalupana; other one was caught using Rainbow Powerbait.  Fun stuff... great way to start the new year!

Ross Fly Reel

Been having a hard time getting out to go fishing.  Weather has been the main contributor as well as a personal commitments that require attention.  Did sneak out to Cabelas and looked for a few clearance deals.  Managed to pick up a 3/4 Weight Ross Fly Reel for $56 much better than the listed $80 price!

Summary of Lures and Baits used for Trout Fishing (dated 30Dec'12)

With over 70 plus Trout Fishing reports received to date, the Team finished collating the data and posted the results on our partner website - Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing: Top 5 Lures and Baits for Community Lakes!  Check it out when you get a chance!  We hope are Readers find it useful when preparing for a fishing trip to their local community lake/pond for Rainbow Trout!

New Fishing Leader Board

With the new year fast approaching and cold temps having us bundled up indoors, decided to update our partner sites of which one of them was the COAF Fishing Leader Board - an informal "bulletin board" where our Readers could submit photos of fish caught in the local area.

Starting in 2013, the Fishing Leader Board will replace the COAF Fishing Leader Boards (2009-2012). The new Fishing Leader Board will remain an informal "bulletin board" for posting pictures but includes more categories, can be modified to create new categories as needed, and is no longer limited to fish caught in the local area! Do check it out when you get chance!

Good Luck and Good Fishing... to another great year in 2013!

Sincerely,
The Field Team

Quick Trip To Huaco Springs....

Made a dash to the River and fished Huaco Springs.  Limited in time and had to deal with strong winds, managed one Stocker Trout.  Little one that was released.  Still had fun, still beats working!

Day Before Christmas at Huaco Springs

Fished the Guadalupe River at Huaco Springs.  Great day, great temps, even slipped and fell into the river while wading.  But, was able to keep fishing until a limit was taken!  Brought Powerbait and Fishing Flies; looked like the Fishing Flies won this round - specifically, the Guadalupana - same one that worked well at Waterloo in Denison.  Really liking the day use access to the River provided by a Freshwater Fishing License!

Windy Day at Waterloo....

Was a windy day at Waterloo; luckily the Rainbow Trout were not bothered by it.  Steady action on the Guadalupana as well as Bread and Powerbait.  Two of us fished; two of us limited out!  Fun stuff!

Field Team Limited Out Again... Powerbait and Fishing Flies Worked!

Went up the road again to Denison for another round with the Rainbow Trout.  Trout continued to go for Powerbait but not as aggressively compared to yesterday.  This time it seemed fishing flies were the "go to" lure.  They struck the Guadalupana, GRHEN, and Flashback GRHEN.  Fun stuff... caught some, lost some, and kept some.  Both NucLaroche and Fshng84 limited out.  Too bad T-Bone and the Comal Kid missed the opportunity; no worries, we expect more to come in the next few weeks!  Crossing our fingers of course.

Rainbow Trout at Waterloo

Fished Waterloo Park Pond in Denison.  Caught Rainbow Trout using Powerbait in Rainbow Trout Glitter and the Guadalupana fishing fly.  We managed to catch our limit with five Trout each; no Bruisers... just small Stockers but still a lot of fun especially on the flyrod.

Made a short video; had an issue with the video editing... two images instead of one.  Something about 3D video.  Was going to redo it for 2D but had already deleted the original video.  Regardless, the video does give the sense that the pond is little and the Trout were biting!

Slow Down in the Action

Stopped by Bethany this evening.  Cold temps and some action for some before the sunset.  Looked like the Trout were going for Salmon Eggs and Bread.  Soon as the sun went down; action slowed with a few Trout being caught on Salmon Eggs.  This round managed to catch a Shellcracker again and a Trout on Bread.  Decided to call it quits after dark and head indoors to warm up!
