Trout Fishing Murphy City Complex Pond | Livestream in Murphy, Texas

After only a strike and a miss, decided to post a livestream while trout fishing at Murphy City Complex Pond. Saw lots of folks, with limits being taken on PowerBait and PowerWorms as well as lures. Gold Super Duper worked for some in the morning. Later, Silver Super Dupers were getting bit. Key was to cast mid-pond , let the lure sink, and retrieve slow... much slower than the retrieve that worked last weekend in McKinney's Towne Lake.

Fished a Feeder Creek This Round [1-04-2015]

Originally published January 4, 2015

Cold temps and short on time; no Trout Reports today. Did get a snippet from Fshng84 who went fishing at the Feeder Creek to Bethany. He reported little Bluegill/Sunfish on Soft Hackle and Tiny Midges.

Looked like fun especially on a 3 Weight Fly Rod. Did note that the Tiny Midge used was the same one used on the Blue River when a midge hatch starts up and the Trout start slurping them up just before they break the surface.

Beware Bigger Fish Below... #shorts #pondfishing

Local trout derby scheduled today; rain and snow in the forecast. May need to stop by tomorrow instead of today. That said, there are bigger fish lurking in the pond. Be prepared to haggle with them over a fish or two!

Team Limited Out at Waterloo [1-03-2015]

Originally published January 3, 2015

Received an update from the Team... limited out at Waterloo! 

• Two went for the GRHEN on a Tandem Rig Near Deere and GRHEN.
• Remainder went for PowerBait. 

Overall, it looked like a number of fishermen limited out. Bait seemed to outdo lures. No worries, Good thing our fishing buddy figured out the pattern this round and had PowerBait ready to go!

Fixing a Cast Net, Braille Line Repair #diy #fishing #repair

After several temp fixes to broken braille lines to the cast net, finally took the time to replace them all. Hot day but got it done! Took slightly longer… added an extra braille line on the fly when I noticed a portion of the net was drooping lower than the others!

PS: One change to the fix for the next net. I would attach the new braille lines next to the old ones, and then cut the old braille lines. No measuring needed!

Saturday Morning…? [1-03-2015]

Originally published January 3, 2015

Saturday morning... Looks like the rain is letting up. Checked the local ponds and noted water levels are up.

Have not heard from the Team about the action at Bethany Lakes but will post an update as soon as they report in.

That said, here is a picture showing the water is flowing at Bethany Creek Pond (just up the road from Bethany Lakes)!

Water is flowing!
