Fished Lost Maples State Park the other day and both the Bluegill and Rainbow Trout were biting!The fish were in a spring fed pond. It was a mile walk to and from the pond and the only way to the pond was by foot. Caught several nice Bluegill and a limit of nice trout. Caught about twenty trout and kept five. I released the Bluegill. The Bluegill were caught using Gulp Alive Night Crawlers fishing them off of the bottom next to ledges and grass beds. The trout were all caught using a gold Super Duper Lure. The pond is about six feet deep with clear water. The scenery is beautiful and the walk was well worth it. Catching some nice Bluegill and Rainbow Trout in the Texas Hill Country. It just don't get any better! fish

LOL...I was thinking the same thing, J-Moe. Chuck is a regular encyclopedia of good places to fish!

Thanks guys for the replies. You would be surprised how many GREAT places Texas has to fish. partyon Love making ROAD TRIPS! walking Leo: Can creek runs to the left of the pond. For what I was told at the park office and for what I saw this was a spring fed pond locked in by limestone cliffs! Friends of mine have told me in the past that both the pond and Sabinal River are good places to fish in the park. I did walk by Can Creek and it had water flowing! thumb

Nice fish! Was the pond stocked part of the Sabinal River? If not is the Sabinal River stocked?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. cheers The pond is not part of the Sabinal. It is totally separate. eeks The Sabinal River is stocked once with trout and the stocking takes place in Utopia. thumb

I grew up fishing small creeks and spring fed ponds for trout in my native CO. This post takes me back in time. You keep posting things like this and I'm gonna have to take me a road trip and do some fishing down your way.
