Fished Lake Lavon at Brockdale Park. Strong breeze did not sway the fishing. Yellow Bass were congregating off the point and were readily taken using a bottom rig and earthworms for bait. Caught and released about 20 Yellow Bass. Did observe another group taking White Bass on Shad. Video posted in the link below.

Great info Jaed Pact.

Went yesterday afternoon to fish one of the feeder creek ponds at Shadow Lakes. Pond is just south of McDermott Road on the east side of Allen. Caught one 8.5" Sunfish and lost a few others. Too slow in setting the hook, else they were catchable. Video posted in the link below.

Fished Bethany Lakes' Main Pond yesterday. Caught one Bluegill on a Red and White Streamer. Think the recent rains changed the pattern and slowed the fishing activity.

Today, fished Spring Creek in Plano just off of Chisum Trail. Caught a Sunfish and several Bluegill-like fish on a Prince Nymph Fly.

Revrod - nice fish!

All - FYI
Quick updates from this weekend's activities. Fished Bethany Lakes Saturday morning, a creek in Plano in the afternoon, and then fished Lake Lavon Sunday afternoon.

Bethany Lakes produced two fish - a Sunfish and a Bluegill. A lot of activity, just could not connect. Used flyfishing gear and a Brown Nymph and Gangle-Legged Fly.

The creek in Plano is located near John Carpenter Park west of Independence and San Simeon. Caught three fish working the banks and brush piles. Used flyfishing gear and a Brown Nymph.

Lake Lavon at Brockdale Park produced 5 keeper-sized White Bass ranging in 12" to 14" in size. Also, caught and released 5 Yellow Bass and over 30 White Bass. All were caught trolling with 1/8oz White Crappie Jigs and Roadrunners.

Videos posted in the link below.

My grandkids and I fished the Colleyville nature park ponds this weekend. For them, it was the first time they actually did the fishing versus having me cast/retrieve for them. The bluegills were biting every cast on earthworms. The two kids brought in 10 and missed 2-3x that.

FYI - Although it was not a community lake and did not fish from the bank, went to Lake Lavon at Brockdale Park.

Caught 9 Keeper White Bass. Also, caught and released 1 Yellow Bass, 1 Crappie, and over 30+ small White Bass. All were caught trolling with 1/16oz White Crappie Jigs.

Did see several folks long casting off the point to the right of the boat ramp (as you face the lake). Observed several fish taken using live Shad for bait.

Picture posted in the link below.

Fished Brockdale Park again this morning for a couple of hours using a kayak and trolling a White Crappie Jig and a variant of one. Posted picture of jigs used in the link below.

Did observe several fishermen on the bank getting strikes using shad. Not sure how many were caught but it looked like the action was steady.
