January 31, 2009 - Two Limits of Trout at Waterloo!

Lucked out at Waterloo Park Pond in Denison. Fishing buddy and I caught a limit of 5 Trout each using a Carolina Rigged Corn set-up. Largest went 12" in size. Steady strikes with a lot of missed fish. Luckily managed to set the hook enough times to limit out.

Today's Catch.

January 31, 2009 - Two Limits At Waterloo!

Worked out early, and headed out on a fishing trip to Waterloo Park Pond in Denison. Fishing buddy and I limited out with 5 each. Some bigger Trout than the last trip. Will post pictures on the fishing Blog later today!

January 29, 2009 - Celebration Park East Pond

Quick trip this evening to Celebration Park. Caught a couple of small Catfish on Bread and spinfishing gear. Catfish were biting despite the cold temps. Also, noticed activity on the surface as they picked at Bread floating on the surface.

January 25, 2009 - Coffee Break; Other Thoughts!

Enjoyed a cup of coffee at Starbucks this morning. Today's plans are to let the feet rest and don't run. Would liked to have fished for Trout given the cold weather but family duties preclude fishing.

That said, thoughts are Lake Lewisville Ecological Learning Area and River Park would be good opportunities for Trout. Also, reports from the Field indicate White Bass are in the area creeks.

Denison Dam reports have been spotty. Given the drive time, suggest checking out the real time release schedule to confirm when water is flowing. Denison Dam Real Time Release.

All for now.

January 24, 2009 - Chilly Today!

Chilly today! Opted to stay indoors which meant no fishing and an indoor run on the treadmill. Did make a trip to the local library to pick up some reading material. Going to hibernate today.

January 23, 2009 - Bethany Lakes

Fished Bethany Lakes Back Pond to get in a quick trip while the warm weather was upon us. Caught a few Bluegill flyfishing a Bead Head Nymph. Waited a few seconds before retrieving line, and then used a slow retrieve to get strikes. Bluegill Today.

January 22, 2009 - Just Sunfish!

Took a quick trip to Bethany Creek Park Pond and caught a few Sunfish. Warm weather made for a comfortable outing. Fish were small but fought well on light gear. Used flyfishing gear and Nymphs to hook them in the shallows. Nothing special but good to get out after a hectic week.

Done For the Today, But Oh By The Way.

Am done for the day, but oh by the way.... while out and about, passed by Lake Lavon Dam. Noted the water was not flowing, and further downriver no water movement by the railroad trellis. Looks like the lack of rain continues to impact the area.

Bethany Ridge Park

Stopped by Bethany Ridge Park around Noon today. Construction and other factors may have impacted the fishing.

Cloudy water and shifting structure - more shallows than before. Going to take a few trips to figure the pattern.

Out and About: January 18, 2009

Another morning and out and about with a run that passed by Bethany Ridge Park Pond, Bethany Lakes Lower Pond (by Joe Farmer Recreation Center), and Bethany Lakes Estates Pond (HOA).

Earlier it was reported that the pier at Bethany Ridge Park Pond was being worked on and some fishing spots would be affected. Closer look of the work showed the construction taking place was not impacting the pier or fishing spots. Good news fishermen!

Bethany Lakes Lower Pond showed minimal activity and water levels remain low. Looks as if the lack of rain is making an impact on the area ponds.

Bethany Lakes Estates Pond is maintained by the HOA, so private property rules apply. Does look promising. Even better, if the fish are not biting, a Sonic is nearby for food and drinks.

Route had a slight incline on the backside but overall consisted of flat and level ground. Good for this recreational runner.

All for now.
