Closed Out 2023 with Two Trout - Let's Talk Fishing - Reel Cast Fishing Podcast - Episode 2

Closed out the year with a final trip to Waterloo Pond in Denison, TX. Plan was to see if the trout would take a Squirmy Tail Nymph and to capture underwater action with the Water Wolf Camera.

As it turned out, the Trout wanted Dry Flies. Additionally, Trout were wanting PowerBait but needed to make sure the bait stayed above the bottom greenery plus add movement to the presentation.

Did manage two Trout that went for a Crackleback!

Little Stripers Are Fun, Too #fishing #flyfishing #fun Had fun fly fishing for little Stripers at the local dam. https://youtube.com/shorts/OPPrwsqYmRE?feature=share

But, don't forget to fish when the current is slack. You may be surprised how many fish lurk in the area.
