fished bethany from 1 to 230. I didnt see a single fish caught. I mean zero. no schooling, no chasing bait, no surface activity, nothing. that's really unusual at bethany on stocking day. I wonder what's going on?

Wonder if they stocked it. Did you see fresh tire tracks from the truck?

they def stocked it, cause I went back tonight and I ended up catching one. but it was super slow. I made two trips there today and I think I saw maybe a total of 10 or 15 caught the whole time. in the years past, it was pretty common to catch 30-40 fish on stocking day. maybe the trout are sheltering in place this year, idk.

80 degrees F and blue bird skies probably had something to do with the slow day..

I was out there this evening from 5pm to dusk and only saw one guy snag one out. There were easily 50 hooks in the water on the side closest to the road (south of the parking lot). I'm a new Texan so this was my first go around and it was pretty disappointing. Hoping for better these next few days!

I counted 62 anglers at Bethany yesterday afternoon. With some using two poles, there was over 100 lines in the water.

I went this morning - saw no trout caught. Probably 30 people there.

Was there this morning at about 7am for two hours. Saw maybe 3 trout caught.

Maybe the water is too warm, and they're hanging out near the bottom?

They are there... at Bethany. They were striking Silver Super Dupers on a slow retrieve and a stop and go retrieve at dusk yesterday. Had a couple strike and on the line briefly before they threw the hook on me. Mojo was off. Heard someone else limited out on Mouse Tails and Power Bait. I did stay after dark and played with the GoFish Camera. Still gotta work out the rigging to get a good view. But, did see a bass lurking on the bottom. Also, noticed a "squiggling" worm go by and what looked like midges hatching. May need to try fishing San Juan Worms and Zebra Midges to match the hatch.

Stopped by after work at Bethany. Saw some catching a few; I struck out. But, did get the video posted from the GoFish Cam... Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing | GoFish Cam Scouting at Bethany Lakes

Having fun GoFish Cam scouting for trout during the Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing stocking season. This round we checked out Bethany Lakes yesterday. Overall, bite was slow but did get strikes on the Super Duper at dusk. Still need to work on the rigging for the GoFish Cam to get better action shots, but was able to see a fish - I think it was a Bass, and then noted lots of "buggy-ness". Looks like the green led light attracts things!

Went to Bethany this afternoon. Didn’t get any trouts. Instead, caught and released a small large-mouth bass.

Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing | Finding the Pattern... Bubble Fly Rig Anyone?

Impromptu livestream to recap a quick trip to Bethany Lakes for some Texas Rainbow Trout Fishing - specifically, where we attempt to find the pattern using spincasting gear and ultralight spinning gear.

Short on time but did manage to catch one using the Bubble Fly Rig but promptly dropped it back into the water.

Check it out as we explain what we did to find the "pattern"!

We fished Bethany Park in Allen last night from 4 to dark. Trout were rising and jumping when. We got there. We fished 2 poles with bobbers and 2 poles with the bottom rig in this video https://youtu.be/lLybL3cEY-w

We ended up with 9 altogether and caught fish with both techniques. The key was getting the bait to the active fish...

That’s a nice one!
