Caruth Park Trout Fishing - Streaming Live from my #GoPro

Fun time limiting out on trout. Able to post an impromptu livestream at Caruth Park!

It includes all the mistakes and missed strikes while recording live. It took about an hour of fishing using fishing flies and other lures before I found what worked.

Ultralight Baitcasting a 1/16oz Rooster Tail - black with silver blade, fished on a slow retrieve was the go to method.

Although I limited out, I should have finished sooner but I kept losing trout while landing them. No worries, great excuse to keep fishing!

Met a Fly Fishing Legend!

Made it to the Texas Fly Fishing and Brew Festival! Glad I did. Learned a lot, saw some new products, and even met a Fly Fishing Legend - Tom Rosenbauer! Been a fan for many years!

In a brief conversation, I recalled a book he wrote that provided great info for me over the years. After a quick look, I found the book, "Reading Trout Streams".

How About Fishing Murphy City Pond?

Let's talk fishing, Murphy gets stocked and a trout derby tomorrow. How about videos from past trips.

This round I detail what I did in the past when fishing for trout at the small pond in Murphy. It is located next to Murphy City Hall and offers some great trout and bass fishing as well as some nice size Catfish.

Limited Out After Finding The Pattern - Rooster Tails #fishing #baitfinesse #trout

Fished Towne Lake in McKinney after the Trout Derby. Was a slow start but things picked up later that day. Managed a limit of trout; all on Rooster Tails.

Key lesson learned this round was to fish the smaller pond near the bridge. This year they did not partition the trout area into sections. Instead, they setup nets only to the main part of the lake.

As a result, the trout tended to the small pond which tends to be deeper.

Lots of folks limited out to include yours truly!

Let's Talk About Trout Fishing at Frisco's Warren Sports Complex! Trout Derby in Frisco Tomorrow! #fishing #livestream #flyfishing

A quick update on a fishing opportunity in our area - Trout Derby at Frisco at the Warren Sports Complex! The intent was to give our Readers an idea about what to expect when fishing the pond... more like a lake at Warren Park.

A Frisco kicked off the trout fishing and then others tried their luck. As it turned out when I fished it Super Bowl Sunday, the fish were there as anticipated... just needed to be prepared to use the appropriate bait.

I noticed Mice Tails fished under a bubble float and Super Dupers worked for a majority of fishermen - see items below for reference.

What I Did To Limit Out, Small Pond with Lots of Trout! #flyfishing #fishing #tips

Video of last Sunday's trip to a new place... pond in Rockwall, Texas. Check out the video, key item to suggest is to try the retrieve I used to limit out - The Twitch and Stop Retrieve!

Harry Meyers Park in Rockwall has two ponds... there is a third one but it may not have been stocked with trout.

Stocked with Rainbow Trout last weekend, I decided to check out the Park and maybe wet a line and limit out on trout.

When I arrived, I quickly noticed how small the ponds were. No worries though, I observed a number of fishermen catching trout using lures and bait.

For yours truly, I opted for fly fishing.

Average Joe's Broadcast, Let's Talk Fishing Series 04 😎😎😎 #fishing #livestream #flyfishing

Icy conditions has the Team indoors. No worries, can always talk about fishing! Another in the Let's Talk Fishing Series!

This round I talk about upcoming trout stockings in our area - Collin County, Texas. There were foure stockings planned for the cities of Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, and Murphy.

Also, I mentioned fishing Waterloo Park Pond in Denison, Texas and the gear that I used and the retrieve that worked for me.

I do discuss Centerpin fishing as well... a new fishing technique for me that calls for using a drag free reel that has the ability to spin freely.

Do check out the video!

Keeping It Simple, One Fishing Fly To Limit Out #fishing #flyfishing #trout

Plan was to fish Waterloo Park Pond in Denison with Centerpin Combo but switched last minute to a One-Handed Spey Fly Fishing Combo that used the  OPST Commando Head 175grn on a 4wt, 8ft fly rod.

Cold and windy morning, I decided to keep it simple and use on fishing fly - an Olive Near Deere. I would adjust my retrieve and depth until I limited out.

Do check out the video where I find the pattern limit out!

Note: I used a 175grain OPST Commando Head not a 200grain as mentioned in the video.

Fishing Flies Anyone? #flyfishing #fishing #livestream

This round I talk about fishing flies and details on a recently posted long form video. In particular I mention fly tying and suggest learning to tie your favorite fishing fly.

Instead of buying materials for different patterns, focus more on the material to make your favorite fishing fly! Learn to tie it well before moving on to other patterns.

The results are a two for one special!

• Improving your fly tying skills without spending money on material you may not use.
• You have a hand-tied fishing fly of your favorite pattern!

Suggested Fly Tying Kits posted below for reference:
