Myself and Good Friend Steve made a trip to the Rainbow Trout Stocking at Lost Maples State Park. It was cold and drizzling wet the whole day. The trout truck arrived around 10am and it was "FISH ON" shortly after it left. We caught about 30 fish between the two of us and kept 10 for the dinner table. Gold Super Duper Lures and the Berkley Trout Bait-Cheese Colored were the baits used. Steve had brought his catfish rod and some chicken lever with him and put a bait in the creek pond that we were fishing in. While catching the trout his line on his catfish rod started to run. Steve set the hook and the fight was on. Steve reeled in a nice Channel Cat with a weight of 5.21 pounds. The length was 23 ". He also caught another catfish that was 14" in length. He kept both catfish for the dinner table. After a day of fishing at the Lost Maples State Park we had a super dinner at Bobbie J's Old Fashioned Hamburgers in Helotes Texas. Catching some nice fish and having a GREAT hamburger. It just don't get any better. fish

Always love going to Lost Maples State Park. Nice fishing guys and some super fish. I was told a couple of years ago that there are some very big Channel Cat's in that pond and that the pond is deep as well as spring fed. That one your friend caught is a fatty. Bet they eat their fair share of trout. Wonder how big some of those other catfish are?



Side Note: Did not get the time to fish Lost Maples this season. Did you make anymore trips there this season?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! cheers The pond at Lost Maples is actually part of Can Creek. A park employee told us this. The deepest part of the pond is about 20 feet and it goes under a limestone cliff. There are some HUGE catfish there and yes they do eat some of the trout that are stocked. There are also some nice bass there but you are not allowed to keep any bass. They all have to be released and there is a fine you have to pay if caught in possession of any bass. It's all catch&release for the bass. I fished Lost Maples twice this year and plan on fishing there some more this year. thumb
