Community Lake bag limit question

The only info I found on the TPWD site was the following:
Community Fishing Lakes (except reservoirs totally within state parks)
* For channel and blue catfish, no minimum length. Daily bag=5 in any combination. * Fishing is by pole and line only. Anglers may use no more than two poles while fishing.
I know there is a sign on both the Elder lake in Kilgore and the Lear Park Pond in Longview that states a daily bag limit of 5 bass, 5 catfish, and 5 trout.
The reason I asked is that I stopped by the recently built not open to the public(according to the newspaper article I read)and talked to a lady who was fishing. I asked it it was open to the public and she said she was a city employee and that the person in charge of the pond (Jack ??) said she could go ahead and fish. She was catching stocked channels barely big enough to eat, not big enough to fillet. Anyway I will call around Monday to see if fishing is allowed. Wonder if stocked channels will bite on wooly boogers?

I caught a catfish on an olive woolly bugger. Yes, there is a five limit count for trout.

Heck yeah channel cats will eat wooley buggers. I caught more channels than anything other than perch on the fly in TX (ok, I started targeting them after the first few suprise catches) and every one was on a wooley bugger. Olive and brown were the best producers, and many were in the 20 - 24" range. I don't carry a scale, so I have no idea what a 24 channel weighs, but they fight like heck on a 5 wt with a 6# tippet. Have fun with them stockers.

I too havr caught catfish on woolly boogers except for one blue cat on the red river who thought he was a striper when he ate my white clouser and made a crazy run into the raging current.

I caught 3 this summer from Big Cypress one on a BPS black foam rubber spider and two on a 1/80 jig with a YUM 1 1/2" curly or wave tail grub. (The YUM package only had a # and no name or description, so that is the best I can describe it). The biggest was laying under a tree branch that had fallen in about 6 inches of water. I think I hit it in the head and it reacted; but a three pound channel is still a good fight on a fly rod.

somewhere in the rules the definition of a community lake is a lake less than 75 acres located within the municipality of a city andopen to the public.

Well I tied up four. 1. black chenille, black deer hair tail, yellow hackle. 2. same but with some kind of pseudo multicolored hackle. 3 & 4. All black, with some lead wire and black rubber legs and black maraboo tails. Still having trouble with rubber legs. They every direction but the intended one.
Oh how smart can a factory raised catfish be?
