Big One Went By... #flyfishing #fishing #trout

Keep the Texas Freshwater Fishery Center in Athens in mind for trout this season! 

There is an opportunity to catch trout each Season to include a Bruiser that lurks in the ponds.

Which pond does it lurk in? In this video snippet, the big one that went by was in the pond named "Zebco Pond".


PS: Do check out other trips to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center!

Places to Fish... Revisited Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center!

Answering the mail concerning questions about fishing at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, TX. We fished it a couple of weeks ago and limited out on Rainbow Trout.

Since then, had requests to provide more details on the specific places fished while we were there.

This video intends to provide details as well as a bonus at the end... do stay till the end and do like and subscribe if you like what we are doing.

 




Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing | At the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center

More Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing... made it to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens, TX for a go at the trout stocked recently! Was an interesting round; the trout wanted "green" fishing flies and lures fished fast.

Tried various fishing flies and different retrieves before settling on a short pull, steady retrieve.  Did miss a number of strikes as well as lost a few when they threw the barbless hook.

That said, did limit out plus has a great time exploring the Center. Do check out the video, and do stay till the end for the bonus.

PS: Was not certain if a fishing license was required. Later, confirmed with the TFFC that fishing is included in the price of admission... no fishing license needed! 


 

More Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing.... Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center Trout Fishing! #flyfishing

More Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing.... Made the run down the road to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens for a chance at trout. Cool place with several ponds to fish. We opted to fish the Casting Pond. Maybe next round we will give it a go at the other locations.

Bite started out good with several strikes on the Olive Near Deere; even landed a couple to put on the stringer. Then, things slowed as well as the are became clobbered with pine needles. Luckily, a slight wind clear the area later in the day, and the trout became more active, too.

In short order, we managed to put eight more on the stringer to make a total of ten! Two of us limited out; one of us had an issue with landing the trout once hooked. No worries though, was a great time to be out on a warm November day!

PS: No fishing license is required. Entrance fee includes fishing; however, if you want to harvest the trout, an additional fee of $5 is required. There are other regulations to be aware of... we includes a copy of the pamphlet that has more info in the video.

Catch and Keep Rig Works For Trout!

Try the Catch and Keep Rig for Trout. It uses a small worm weight or egg sinker, a small snap swivel, and a size 10, 12, or 14 treble hook.

Bait it with PowerBait, Corn, or your favorite bait and adjust the line length to the hook as needed.

Also, do use it for catching and keeping trout and not for catching and releasing as the trout tend to be deep hooked. This rig is for getting food on the table.

Also, when fishing the rig, no need to use a "rip thy lips" technique. Instead, reel the slack on the line and feel the trout swimming away. Often, the trout will have hook itself!

Ultralight Baitcasting for Trout on the Blue River in Oklahoma!

Fished the Blue River for trout this round. Opted for Super Dupers and Ultralight Fishing Gear. Three of us fished - two fished with Ultralight Spinning Gear and yours truly fished with Ultralight Baitcasting gear.

Cold front rolled in the night before dropping the temps below freezing. Anticipating trout tending deeper, decided to fish Super Dupers.

Stopped at Scotty's Blue River One Stop to restock on Super Dupers - picked up Rainbow Trout, Silver, and Copper Super Dupers to add to the gold and silver ones I  already had.

After a quick check at the low water crossing, went downriver to fish. After finding the pattern limited out with three trout each!

PS: Yours truly wore hip waders and went a little too deep. Lesson learned where Pants Waders or Chest Waders.  Also, we did have a wading boot blowout after many seasons. Secured the sole with rope to make it last one more trip. It worked... and has now been retired.
