As per prior years, mousetails were basically cheating - with any color getting bites - all of my kids got to reel in at least 2, for a total of 7. Reeds/brush has gotten really bad for the denton pond. They couldn't even drop the trout in the usual place due to reeds - basically only the dock and 3-4 other small spots are fishable without hooking onto reeds.

Plan to try again w/ niece and kids on Friday morning pior to our delayed turkey dinner.

Thanks for the report! We won’t fish until they stock Bethany in December, but we are looking forward to it!

looks like they are stocking today in Glen Rose, think i'll take the kiddos.. i've never fished for trout.. is it worth getting those baits or just worms or what?

If you can find them pick up some super dupers in various colors/weights.

Use corn or Berkley's maize on small hooks with a small sinker about 18" from bait . Small spinner baits are effective as well .

They're fun to catch but I'd just as soon have a mess of crappie or sandies .

Me and a friend of mine limited out at Blanco State Park. Gold Super Dupers and Power Bait were used.

TPWD stocked 1500 rainbows today at San Gabriel Park in GTX. I went at about 2:00 PM. Only a few guys fishing. Couldn’t believe it. Tomorrow will be a different story. There is a kids trout derby from 8:00 till 10:00 AM. It’s limited to the first 100 kids to get registered. Think I’ll wait till about 2:00 to go again tomorrow. Didn’t keep any today but the numbers were really good. Let those kids catch them again tomorrow

Awesome! It’s always fun after the derby! My kid like to sleep late so we never make it early!

Picked up a easy limit at Garner State Park. Went after the day of the stocking. Gold Super Duper got it done. Caught about 30 and kept 5.

Awesome! Super dupers are my go to lure, sometimes gold, sometimes silver... Rarely both... I mostly fish with the girls and if I go with them, its normally Powerbait...

And Frisco gets 4,000! That lake is not near as big as Town Lake either. Very weird.

Town Lake always gets 4000, i think they accidently swapped the totals

I’m going to my first one Friday.

How many people typically come out to these things and what time do they drop them?

better get ready for a crowd. I went to a small park in kennedale on the 3rd when they stocked it and I would say about a hundred people all casting on top of each other lol it was crazy.

This was the lure of choice yesterday at the stocking site in Harker Heights. Very old school WOB-L-RITE SPOON. The pond is usually on the murky side. Banker told me a few years ago to try silver instead of gold in murky water. Great tip that really worked well yesterday. Thanks Banker! Gold SDL is my go to for RBT in clear water. Never tied one on yesterday. Caught twenty plus in about 2 hours. Released all but one that was deep hooked. Thanks again Banker! Tomorrow either Blue Hole or Hamilton Creek in Burnet. Blue Hole water is very clear. Hamilton Creek usually murky.
