More fun fishing the Blue River in Oklahoma this past Sunday. Morning started out below freezing and overall the trout bite slowed for some of us. But, I did manage to limit out with three trout. I did see some nice size ones moving about but no takers for yours truly.
Also, did more exploring of the area north of Hughes Crossing and checked out "The Boulders" per Zach Flatt's recommendation - see his website at https://flattoutfishing.com/ for more details.
Overall, it was a nice "chill" or maybe "chillier" day but it was sure lots of fun. Do check out the video. Also, will plan a livestream to step through the video and possibly answer any questions about the trip.
PS: Shout out to the folks I met on the River! Awesome to meet ya'll. Appreciate the support; hope to see you again sooner than later on the River.
This round we talk about fishing flies to answer the mail to a follow-on request to our earlier Fly Fishing Live Broadcast. Again, we take the Average Joe's point of view.
Do checkout the livestream, and do checkback for more Livestreams from the Team!
Here are the links to the articles and videos mentioned in the livestream.
This round we discuss fishing opportunities at Denison Dam - tailrace to Lake Texoma, and the Nlue River Catch and Release area in Oklahoma.
Yours truly was unable to go fishing this weekend. But, not deterred, can always talk about fishing as well as watch fishing videos in preparation for our next fishing trip.
Do checkout the livestream, and do checkback... plan to use this format for providing timely updates to our Viewers!
Snowed yesterday but go figure... just a few months ago kicked off the Vintage Lure Series with this nice one! Fun stuff... time to shift to cold weather fishing and start targeting the trout stocking in our area. Do stay tuned as we are out about this Season!
Old School meets New School. Learned about the Oros Strike Indicator from Oklahoma Fishing Guide Donavan Clary. Strike indicator that uses a locking mechanism like the AirLoc Strike Indicator but does not kink your leader!
Yours truly takes it out fishing with the Vintage Bamboo Fly Rod and catches a fish or two. And guess what? No line kinks in the leader!
Another year has passed and another Winter trout stocking season is upon us. And, like in past seasons, yours truly modified the schedule posted by TPWD to sort by Stocking Date and the count of trout stockings planned for a location and its estimated trout to be stocked.
Makes for ease of reference by allowing Readers to quickly see when the next trout stocking is planned. As changes are unexpected for various reasons like weather, do check for updates, changes, and corrections at TPWD’s website – 2022-2023 TPWD Trout Stocking Schedule.
Also, here are some key items to be aware of:
Pampa City dates appear suspect. Site showed stockings on 12/14/21 and 2/2/22 of which both dates have passed. Modified the dates to 12/14/22 and 2/2/23.
Crowley Pond in Crowley showed in Collin County when referring to the County listings. Modified the county to Tarrant County where the city of Crowley is located.
Dates for trout stockings at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFCC) in Athens show 12/1/21, 1/1/22, and 2/2/22. These are placeholders as TPWD’s schedule indicates various stockings instead of a specific date. Before planning a trip do contact Athens TFCC – contact page.
Caruth Park in University Park of Dallas County is back on the list for the Season!
