There's going to be a trout release at Canyon Tailrace in New Braunfels this weekend. Has anybody had any luck fishing this area in past years when they've released trout? If so, what lures/baits seem to work. Any information would be helpful.

Here's a link with dates and locations fish will be released if anybody else is interested;

Thanks for the information. I plan on giving it a try on Sunday. Will post a report.

Probably wont be good the day of the stocking. Usually takes a day or 2 to settle.

I have tomorrow off and have never fished this release before so if anyone wants to help me out and show me what to do tomorrow feel free to pm me.

Get there early, wear waders if you got 'em, or at least rubber boots, that water is cold.

Tried my luck trout fishing on the Guadalupe today, to no avail. I fished at Hueco Springs off of River Road. The water was crystal clear and the scenery was great, but no fish to speak of. I talked to one guy who'd just caught his fourth rainbow trout (all were around 8-10 inches). He was using garlic cheese, balled up, and fished below a weight.

If you missed out on the trout fishing this weekend, I believe they are doing another release next weekend. Here are a few pictures I took. Enjoy.

The water is low, but you can still find some deep pools.

Even if fishing is slow, this is a great place to fish.

I like to fish artificials but I've yet to find one the farm raised trout will hit consistently. My best luck has been on a bait that I make out of velveta and garlic powder. Mix it up by hand, form it into little balls, refrigerate in a plastic baggy. Something about the garlic that draw the trout to it. I guess they can smell it. The velveta is yellow just like the stuff they feed em in the farms.

anybody trying it at guad

Another stocking tomorrow (Dec 19), anybody giving it a try this weekend?

My neighbor was there 12/19/08. He caught his limit. I ended up not having to work after all and find my self with nothing to do. Hum...

Headed out there tomorrow! I was in katy at Peckhman park yesterday and saw some trout getting caught. I also saw a cormorant eating a trout it had caught. The only thing I got was a 15-20lb Koi that ended up breaking me off. That's what I got from using corn.

Tried the trout fishing once more at Hueco Springs on the Guadalupe. Caught three trout, and missed a bunch more. I was using white roostertail spinners above and below the waterfall. Look for the deeper pockets. Enjoy the pics.

Below the waterfall.


Good eats. Yum!!!
