Saturday...

Cold temps. Not sure what the Team is doing today but the intent is to at least wet a line!

Did tie some Tenkara style fishing flies like the one posted below.  May get a chance to try it out later on!

Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge

Late start today; no trout fishing but did get a chance to catch several little Bluegill/Sunfish using a Soft Hackle and a Tiny Midge. Here is a picture of the Tiny Midge used... Fun stuff!

What to do, What to do?

Team is debating on where to fish this morning. Still have a "honey do" list that includes Christmas lights to be taken down. Luckily, need to let them dry before putting them up. Sounds like a "tomorrow thing"!

Better yet, why not leave them up all year... Christmas is year round, maybe? HOA may not agree with it as well as the significant other.

So, heard Denison is hosting a Trout Derby today for adults; plus they stocked it again. Sounds like a possibility later today.

Will play it by ear and send an update to the Web Admin at StockerTroutFishing.com; go figure. He is pushing us to go fishing so he can post which may be a good (or bad) thing.

For now, let's say it is a good thing!

Happy New Year!

The Field Team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

So far the Winter Trout Stocking Season is going well! Hope to get out again once the weather clears.

And for those able to get out and fish...

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Quick Trip to Bethany for More Trout

Fished Bethany this evening; first cast got a Rainbow Trout on a Silver Super Duper, and then no more strikes afterwards.

Shifted to a COAF Griffith's Gnat and used the 5WT Fly Rod to work some of the Risers. Managed to hook and land one; else, had more missed strikes. Was not paying close attention... oh well, till next time.

Video/report sent to StockerTroutFishing.com... Also, tied some COAF Griffith's Gnat and BH GRHEN since we were running low.

COAF Griffith's Gnat Gets One....

After fishing Waterloo this morning; decided to check the action at Bethany this evening as well as test out a fly fishing leader I made from monofilament fishing line.

Saw others posting on the Texas Fishing Forum about making their own fly fishing leaders. Decided to use a "recipe" from way back when I first started fly fishing and was always seemed low in funds.

Leader worked well, turning over the COAF Griffith's Gnat with ease. Even hooked and landed one Trout. No pics... slipped and fell while preparing to take a picture of it.  Ended up flopping back in to the water.

No worries... had fun as well as good to see the "recipe" still works!

Tough Go This Round at Waterloo

Headed up to Denison this morning. Tough go this round at Waterloo Park Pond. Two of us fished, but only one of us limited out.

Took a while to figure out the pattern; turned out a BH GRHEN under a strike indicator did the trick at least for Fshng84. NucLaroche had a couple of missed hook sets, else he struck out.

Still a fun time despite the cold temps. Video/report posted at StockerTroutFishing.com!
