Back to Lake Lavon

Went back to Lake Lavon to checkout some of the fishing areas we visited over the past few weeks. Noticed a lot of parking areas roped off this trip. Not sure why other than it is the 4th of July Weekend. Two places we stopped at were Brockdale Park and Highland Park. Brockdale was a bust but did allow us to test out a "Tennis Ball Fishing Float" - fishing float made from a tennis ball. Will write an article on how to make one and provide a link. Highland Park was good for Shad, else it was slow fishing and hot temperatures. May have to move away from the bank and use the jon boat or kayak.

A Few Shad at Highland Park

Stopped by Highland Park @ Lake Lavon; caught a few Shad by the boat ramp. Others were fishing but the bite was slow.

Slight Delay In Posting.

Having a slight delay in posting fishing reports. A lot of excuses but bottom-line, my fishing line is dry.  Do have some suggested reading for those that are interested.

 

Posted by one of our Field Team members in yesterday's Mobile Blog Feed is a HubPage article, "Fishing Denison Dam's Tailrace".  It has some useful information on fishing the tailrace.  It also has a supplementary article, "Fisherman's View of Denison Dam's Tailrace", that has embedded maps that support the HubPage article.

 

May be worth a read.

Hot Day and No Play!

Was a hot day! More important, was unable to hit the area lakes and ponds this weekend.  Did finish up a HubPage article, "Fishing Denison Dam's Tailrace".  Check it out when you get a chance. May be of interest to some of our readers.

 

Have heard a few reports from the Field Team that fishing in the area remains good.  Just plan to follow  the summer pattern of early morning and late evening fishing trips.

Highland Park @ Lake Lavon

Stopped by Highland Park this evening hoping to catch some Shad. Caught a few but not near the numbers as were caught yesterday. Also, caught and released some fingerling yellow(?) or white(?) bass.
