The Team started a new website titled - "Stocker Trout Fishing". Here is a snippet of the first post welcoming Readers. Do give it a read when you get a chance!
Welcome Readers!
WRITTEN BY: TRTFSHNG84 - DEC• 17•14
Welcome Readers to Stocker Trout Fishing – a website started in partnership with the COAF Field Team! The COAF Field Team (aka Field Team) is a group of avid fishermen located in the city of Allen, Texas.
They kicked off their effort by starting the City Of Allen Fishing Weblog to document online fishing trips to area community lakes and ponds. The fishing trips later expanded to other lakes (including larger lakes), rivers in Oklahoma and Texas, and the Texas Gulf Coast.
For this effort, the Field Team intends to collate information about fishing for stocked Rainbow Trout – specifically, in North Texas with emphasis on local ponds stocked in Collin County.
In addition, the Field Team will include fishing reports for trips across the border to Oklahoma’s Blue River, Lower Mountain Fork River, and Honey Creek (in Turner Falls Park) as well as fishing trips to the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, Texas.
Moreover, the Field Team plans to post information found online that may be useful to Readers interested in fishing for stocked Rainbow Trout!

Waterloo This Round
Fished Waterloo Park Pond in Denison this morning. It rained off and on while we were there but luckily it was not a downpour. Was able to get a round of fishing in without rain gear.
Caught and released a number of Trout using an Olive Near Deere. Did run out of them; switched to a Wooley Bugger and a also a COAF Guadalupana with a strike or two but no hook ups.
Did limit out with five; luckily was able to get the last two Trout to take a Tandem Rig Olive Wooley Bugger and a GRHEN. Both times the Trout went of the GRHEN.
Did miss not having a Near Deere; will tie more later! Overall, was a great day fishing!

Central Park Pond This Round
On the road today. Stopped in College Station for a quick stop. Took the 4 weight fly rod out and started casting for Trout.
Struck out but did see others hook up while there. Water was murky and although the pond was stocked Friday, talked with others who noted that the bite was slow.
Fished for about an hour without a strike. Did see one Trout caught but was not able to get video. Then, prior to leaving, saw another Trout caught. Was able to get some video of it.
Till next time!

More Fishing Fun for Blue River Rainbow Trout
Fished the Blue River today. Got to fish the new 5 Weight Fly Rod; like the feel when casting and it's much lighter than the other 5 Weight Fly Rod!
Was able to limit out using a White Near Deere, Olive Near Deere, and a Tandem Rig Near Deere and Midge. Also, had one take a COAF Guadalupana.
Cool temps and overcast but still a fun time on the River! Used a quick retrieve, slow drift, as well as a strike indicator to get strikes.
Had to call it quits early; won tickets from KHYI 95.3 Range for the Wade Bowen Concert tonight at Southern Junction. Significant Other wants to go; therefore, I go.... "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner"!

Back To Turner Falls For More Trout
Here is a follow-up video to our Podcast from yesterday's trip to Turner Falls Park for Rainbow Trout. Video has been edited but is over eight minutes long; lots of action though!
Limited out with five; caught and released a lot more. Saw a Bruiser too that just did not want my fishing fly. Good news... the Rainbow Trout that we kept were larger overall than last week's trip!
Fishing flies used were a White Near Deere and an Olive Near Deere. Most fish caught were on the Olive Near Deere. Did try Midges, GRHEN, San Juan Worm, and an Egg Pattern. No luck with them.
Fun stuff!

Turner Falls This Round
Tried a new place this round. Headed to Davis, Oklahoma to Turner Falls Park. The River was stocked recently with Rainbow Trout; decided to give it a try.
Nice scenery with a Waterfall area and a River that is easily accessible since there is a street and sidewalk area that runs alongside it.
However, don't be fooled by the park like setting, the pools, pockets, and riffles offer the same challenges when fishing other Rivers. There is a rocky bank to contend with, else it is a fisherman friendly river.
Even better, the fish were in a biting mood! Lost count after twenty, limited out with five (park limit is five trout), three were nice sized ranging from 14"-16" in size.
That said, had already limited out, so the two larger ones were caught and released.
Used an Olive Near Deere to catch most of them, and then switched to a White Near Deere after running out of Olive. Two largest went for the White Near Deere.
Fun stuff... there is a Park Entrance Fee ($16.00 plus tax). However, given the chance at a Bruiser or two, the ease of access, the really nice Restrooms (heated, too), and only saw two other fishermen all day, was okay with it!

Quick Trip This Round with the Switch Rod....
Rain and other commitments had us sidetracked today. No worries; went for a quick trip to Bethany Lakes this round. Brought the Switch Rod and tied on the Tandem Rigged Near Deere and GRHEN setup that worked well on the Blue River in Oklahoma.
Things were promising with a nice Bass hooked but lost when it broke the line. After a few more casts, had another one take but this time it threw the hook. Finally, third time was a charm... hooked and landed a Bass.
So, this round two misses and one Bass! Fun stuff!

More Fun on the Blue River
Weather forecast at the start of the week indicated rain and cold temps for Saturday. Later in the week, forecast changed to no rain and temps in the 30s-40s. Decided to make another run across the border for more fun trout fishing on the Blue River.
Things started out slow with a few strikes but no hook ups for the first hour. Was using a Four Weight Fly Rod and a Near Deere with varied retrieves.
Decided to try a tandem rig with Near Deere and a Bead Head Black Midge under a strike indicator. That did the trick... caught several Trout on the Black Midge. Murphy's Law came into play though; ended up losing the rig and the only Black Midge in the fly box.
Re-tied another tandem rig; this time used a Bead Head Red Midge. More strikes on both the Near Deere and the Red Midge, and then lost the rig to a snag while drifting the rig through pockets. Did manage to get two Trout this way. One was a Rainbow Trout; the other may or may not have been a Rainbow Trout... looked different than the others caught today.
Later, the Trout were actively feeding on something near the surface. Decided to forego the strike indicator and fished the Near Deere with and without a trailer and caught a few more!
Fun stuff!

Tough Go On The Blue River... Only Two This Round
Made it to the Blue River today. Trout Derby was ongoing and lots of folks fishing. Overall, the bite was tough but did see a few fishermen limit out. Also, saw one fisherman catch a Bruiser and another fisherman hook a Bruiser but lost it while landing it!
Started the morning fishing a Near Deere under an indicator. Had two strikes and misses, and then the bite slowed. Kept at it for a while, then started checking out different places on the river before settling in by the Island.
After changing fishing flies multiple times, settled on a tandem rigged Near Deere and Bead Head Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph (GRHEN). Had a strike and a solid hook set. First Trout this round! The Trout looked foul hooked because the Near Deere was embedded in the body but once in hand, it was clear the Trout had struck the GRHEN.
Kept fishing with several more missed strikes. Then, decided to checkout the pockets along one stretch were the Bruisers typically lurk. Sure enough, saw several with a couple that were close enough to get some video!
Hoping for one more Trout, decided to give it "one more cast" by Hughes Crossing. After more than one cast, managed one more Trout and a little Perch! Fun stuff....
