Stockdale Stocking.
12-5-24


Me and my wife fished Stockdale City Pond and the bite was good. We fished the day after the stocking. My wife caught her very first Rainbow Trout. We both limited out and took 10 along with a Channel Catfish, home for the frying pan. Could not get them to hit the Super Duper. The Berkley Power Bait-Yellow got the job done. Great being in the outdoors and catching some Rainbow Trout.

Breakfast! My wife is a GREAT cook !
Sauteed Rainbow Trout.

That's Hexclad. Nice!

Fished all of the above. Blanco still holding a lot of fish. Limited out in three hours. Berkley Trout Bait- Yellow/Orange. Canyon Trail Race. Fished the day after the stocking. Limited out in 45 minutes. Catch & Release for another three hours and caught about 30 trout. Gold Super Duper got the job done. Stock Dale Pond. First time I have fished there. Me and a friend limited out in 2 hours. Fished two days after the stocking. Trout Bait- Yellow was used.

PSA. Dicks Sporting Goods has plenty of the Berkley Trout Bait in various colors in stock. Also Bass Pro Shop- San Antonio has some Gold and Silver 502 Super Dupers in stock, however they still sell out quickly.

South Llano River State Park.
12-10-24


Me and my Friend Dale fished the South Llano River State Park. Dale fished yesterday the day of the stocking and was camping at the park up intel Thursday. I met him at a spot on the South Llano River not to far from where the fish were put in. We fished from sunup till 10:30 am and caught about 50 Rainbow Trout between us. Kept five for the dinner table and the rest were released. Fish were good quality and full of fight. We both were using Gold Super Duper Lures. Fish were staying by a drop off just down from a rapid. After a great morning of trout fishing we had a fantastic breakfast at Isaacks Restaurant in Junction. Catching a bunch of Rainbow Trout on the South Llano River on a nice December Morning with a good friend. It just don't get any better!

McGregor, Harker Heights, Belton.


Fished all three cities the day after the stockings. Limited out in McGregor. Caught about 10 fish. Gave my limit to a couple of anglers who were having a hard time getting their limits. Released five. Had a hard time at Harker Heights and Belton. Caught only 3 in Harker Heights and had two get offs. Gave three to a angler who was going to have them for lunch. Did not have much time to fish Belton, sinch I fished Harker Heights that morning. Fished a hour and caught one on Yellow Power Bait, and had a get off on the Gold Super Duper. It was hard fishing the creek in Belton since I have never fished there before. Took about 15 minutes to get to a parking spot that was close to where I needed to be. Met some good anglers at all three locations. According to the anglers I spoke with all three stocking days had good crowds and about half of them got their limits on the stocking day. Rooster Tails-White in color, Gold lures, corn, and Power Bait-Yellow in color, got good results. Every one was having a great time. Visiting some cities in the heart of Texas and meeting some good people. It just don't get any better!

Canyon Lake Trail Race & Blanco River.


Fished both the Canyon Lake Trail Race and the Blanco River this past week. Caught limits at both places. The Trail Race is holding a lot of trout. Used a Yellow sinking Grasshopper fly at the Trail Race and a Gold Super Duper Lure at the Blanco. The Blanco had a lot of leaves in the water making it difficult to use lures on some key spots. It took me about 4 hours to limit out, but had a lot of fun doing so. Caught about 15 fish at the Trail Race and Kept five. Caught five on the Blanco and released all five. Fished the mornings at both locations. Day break till about 11:30 am. Still plenty of fish at both locations.

Slight delay in posting. May be of interest to some wanting to catch a Rainbow Trout in Texas! Modified TPWD Trout Stocking Schedule
