Went and hit the old trout hole at Chandler today. Took another limit. They really wanted to chomp on the kastmaster today. Only got 1 on fireballs. All the rest hit the lure and I also lost 2 when they went airborne. My only issue was that I walked out without my phone so I didn't get pics until after they had been under the knife. This came at a good time because I was wondering what to do for supper. I took 4 deer this season so meat was covered. Decided to put the trout and a nice piece of backstrap on the grill. My wife has a plate just like it but hers only had 2 trout. Folks that there is a true East Texas Surf and Turf. Life is good. Cheers Y'All

Great post. Yes Sir nothing beats fresh fried Rainbow Trout and Deer Venison. Nicely done Flags! Side Note: What is you catch Ratio for the trout stocking season, on catching trout using lures to your Fireballs?

Side Note: What is you catch Ratio for the trout stocking season, on catching trout using lures to your Fireballs? About 50-50. Where I fish they really hammer the silver kastmaster. I have thrown gold lures including kastmasters, super duper, dardevils and MEPPs spinners until I wore the finish off them and have never had a strike on one at Chandler. Don't know why. Back home in CO I have the best luck on gold. But where I fish for trout in Chandler, sliver is king. I haven't had a chance to try in Amarillo yet. They stocked the lake there and it froze over the next day. I head back that way this week and hope to try it then if it has thawed out.

Thanks Flags. It is about the same here at our stockings. 50/50 split. It seems the fish prefer the Trout Bait over lures, the days after a stocking takes place. Just my two cents.

Nice trout Flags, I can totally relate to forgetting my phone and leaving it in the truck. We've been to 4 stockings here in NTX and I'd say the split is 4- trout bait/fire balls 1- super or kast at every trip. All fished the day of stocking. Last trip with 4 of us fishing came out 1 caught with a super and 19 trout bait/ fire balls.
