Made it to Towne Lake this morning in McKinney. Took a little but found the pattern and started catching them. Did not keep any but should have. Planned to limit out at Prosper; managed to catch two after the Trout Derby and lose two others. Else, it was a tough go for fishing flies! Powerbait was doing well though! Working on the video. Will post later.

I live in Collin County and started fishing during the summer of last year. Recently, I've been going to different ponds where the rainbow trout have been stocked. These are the places I've been to so far: Bethany, Frisco Commons, Towne Lake, Murphy City Hall, Frontier Park.

As a heads up, I'm still very much in the novice/beginner stages of fishing overall. So with all that being said, my first question is (I'll have more), after how many days (on average) does it take for all of the rainbow trout to be gone or for the bite to be considerably rare and few in between? I thought I'd ask the question here.

I've been reading around, and at some places, the presence of those birds that swim in the water and dunk themselves in seem to really make a difference. I know that each place is different, and there's other factors to take into consideration such as weather and how many/often they're stocked, but from your guys' experience, for each of the places above, when would you say they're usually all gone?

I wasn't sure if it was still worthwhile to keep going for rainbow trout at a certain place after 2 weeks it's been stocked.

Looks like there are a few more chances for Trout this month for some folks. Starting to shift to warm water fishing. That said, we finally completed a magazine - Stocker Trout Fishing Magazine, that we have been playing around with for some time. Maybe we can get another one out before the next Trout Season starts! Only one in print, working on an online version so Readers can access it.
