Fly fished the Rowlett Community Park pond stocking yesterday. Water is diarrhea color just as I remembered it from 2013 when I went there to fish it for bass and catfish. Never got a bite in 2013. Figured I would go check it out. Very slow until I figured out where they were and what they would bite. Went through several flies until I found a bite and ended up using a purple near deer dragged slow under an indicator to get all my bites.
Ended up catching and releasing 7 and gave one away to a guy at the park.


Trout #3 that didn�t make the video

Very nice!

Fished Rowlett Community Park Pond Saturday. Been a while since we last fished the pond but luckily, had Google Maps to guide us there. Still have to pass through a subdivision to access the park. Else, it remains as we remembered it... baseball fields, a landfill, and two ponds.

Bite was slow with one big Shad foul-hooked on the Near Deere, and no fish taken with bait or with a Super Duper. Stuck it out for about an hour and half, then moved around looking for activity... action picked up in a cove near a feeder creek.

Limited out with five, and released two others. Also, saw one fisherman land a nice Catfish! Fun stuff with the added bonus of the trout being larger than ones caught a Bethany Lakes and Waterloo! Trout Fishing Rowlett Community Park Trout... video.

We just use a small hook with a kernal of frozen corn and have our limit fast.

Decided to make the run across the border and fished the Blue River today. One of limited out using Power Bait Trout Worms. The other caught two only - one on an Olive Near Deere and the other on a Trout Worm. Video Post.

That nice smell of landfill. Was able to catch three on corn as well before my hands become numb and nose could no longer take it.

Nice there are still fish there. Luckily the birds have not found them like the air force that sits on the banks of Mesquite Town Lake.

Lol no kidding I could never live in that community by that landfill. Must be horrible having to smell that and I can imagine its even better in the heat of summer.... I think i was handling the cold better than that smell.

Short video snippet of the Rio Trout Max Shooting Head that we mounted on our 4wt fly rod... really liking the one-handed spey casting concept! Video Snippet.

May need to give it another go in Frisco... Commons Pond gets stocked Saturday for the derby!

Stockings are done on all of the area rivers and ponds I fish! Rivers are still loaded with trout and I am still getting limits!




Usually have pretty good results through February and into early March!

Down with a cold or a flu... won't make the Trick-A-Trout Derby in Frisco. Good luck to others. For now, can replay past trips to Frisco Commons Pond... Playlist Post.

Sorry your sick Glenn, get well soon.

Fished in the rain today at Dennis Johnston Park in Spring and found one of the golden rainbows that was stocked about a month ago. Someone told me there were only 5 stocked in the pond. Has anyone caught any of these elsewhere? My sons and I have caught about 100 trout in the past 2 months, and this is the first one we've seen.

I had similar experiences at two other ponds that are stocked throughout the season. I went twice to Missouri City CPL and no one was catching any trout. All the other ponds that get one big batch of fish have been productive for quite some time after stocking -- still catching them a month afterward in Spring.

My buddy and I braced the cold yesterday and went to River Park along Trinity River. Fish were released Feb 9, we were able to get our limit within the hour. Small Berkley trout nibbles & small hooks, 6# line. Fun time!
