Where To Go Fishing This Weekend in the DFW Area? | Posted December 15, 2020
Some thoughts on where to go fishing this weekend. Last time we posted we mentioned enjoying the Striped Bass fishing at Denison Dam. This round we suggest for those in the DFW areas… But, this weekend with the weather looking good, we have trout to be caught either in Texas ponds or the Blue River in OK or the Guadalupe River south in New Braunfels as well as fishing area lakes for maybe crappie and/or catfish.
For reference, links to the videos mentioned in this video for reference:

Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing | Found a Pattern, Limited Out
After several quick trips in the late afternoon/evening fishing for Texas Rainbow Trout that were stocked at Bethany Lakes last Wednesday, finally limited out on a cold Saturday morning.
Trout were actively feeding on something. Even chased but turned away from lures we casted. Trout were picky with one caught on a Rubber Legged Near Deere fished motionless under a Bubble Fly Rig, and then another caught on a Griffith’s Gnat using the same rig.
As luck had it, my reel broke… the bail spring. Switched to other rods before settling on the fly rod, fishing the Near Deere with a “twitchy twitch” retrieve. For some reason, the trout wanted movement!
After limiting out, did some catch and release to see if the pattern held. By mid-morning, they wanted the Generic Black Midge Dry Fly in size 16… fished dry as well as wet and changing from a no retrieve to a short pull retrieve.
Later, stopped by in the evening… no lure, no fishing flies, trout were wanting corn. LOL!
Did see others doing well with PowerBait and Mouse Tails throughout the day. Rule of Thumb… be ready to change baits, lures, fishing flies, the retrieve, and/or the rig you are using.

Easy Rainbow Trout Recipe | Baked Trout Anyone?
Here is an easy rainbow trout recipe where we cook yesterday’s limit of trout in the oven. Raining today, so no pan fry over wood in an iron skillet this time. Recipe calls for: Garlic Powder, Season Salt, and Cilantro.
Sprinkle Garlic Powder and Season Salt inside and out, then place cilantro leaves in the body cavity. next, cook for 18-20 minutes in the over at 450 degrees… or until flesh is flaky.
Tasty!

Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing | GoFish Cam Scouting at Bethany Lakes
Having fun GoFish Cam scouting for trout during the Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing stocking season. This round we checked out Bethany Lakes yesterday. Overall, bite was slow but did get strikes on the Super Duper at dusk. Still need to work on the rigging for the GoFish Cam to get better action shots, but was able to see a fish – I think it was a Bass, and then noted lots of “buggy-ness”. Looks like the green led light attracts things!
