For cats from the bank, the area behind Haggar Headquarters on Luna Rd is very good. Blues and channels mostly, with an occasional flathead. The area behind the building can be good, and the area across the water from there, below the apartments springing up all over the place there, is also quite good.

Farther downstream on Riverside, in the Campion Trails park, the wide spot and bend in the river behind the parking lot, picnic tables, grills and covered pavilion is good, with water depths there from 6 inches to over 20 ft in the channel.

The Northwest Highway bridge is a good spot too. Fish UNDER the bridge, very deep water there too. Park at the DART transit center and walk across the street.

Those should do for starters, and once you get a feel for the river, I am sure you will find your own hotspots.

Good luck, and let us know when the fish fry is, I will bring some "ADULT" beverages!

that haggar area has every fish there is i think. in my 2 trips there i caught largemouth, crappie, sandy, cat, drum, and nice gar. im in on the beverages rudy good idea lol

What baits did you throw?

I have only caught LMB on a rooster tail and a senko, cant wait to find the crappie but I haven't had any luck? Its only been one trip so I know it can only get better!

I am Going tomorrow, who is bringing the beverages?

Can I Put My Yak In There And If So Where Can Launch From? Thanks For The Info

The yak can be put in behind the apartments across the river from the haggar bldg.

The cats love chicken liver. The bass like everything, the crappie like jigs and minnows.

The elm fork south of 380 gave me more crappie today. I have been fishing every day this week, due to the fact that I am on vacation.... I put the crappie on the grill last night with steaks! Yum yum.... Going again in the morning.... Need more crappie!!! And by the way... I cleaned up a spot with my little girl this week and some one has already trashed it... and it was not Elm Fork... but it was off of 380...

i use 1/8 chartreuse or white roostertail. the bass hit small spinner bait. gar hit roostertail lucky i got it back.

Thanks so much for the tips Lovefldx,I am going out there this morning.

So,I went down to Haggar today.I brought beef liver and dip bait.I'm thinking I caught them at a weird time,with the cool front coming in. That is an unreal looking fishery,so much evidence of activity(dorsal fins,bass jumping,cats swirling),no question in my mind,they're in there.So I caught a channel about 8 am.I met this other guy down there who was line fishing for bluegill because his sandbass weren't biting too well.I borrowed one of his bluegill and put a circle hook on it and a weight.I think something was trying to get to the bluegill,as he was missing his tail and a bit under his midsection(but whatever it was,he missed the hook.)Great looking spot. Thanks so much for the info.I didn't have a full day,but I will definitely be back. Has anybody tried Fossil Creek this time of year?

I know this is an old post and all Rudy...but having met you once before...I'm curious as to what his answer was?

He didn't push it, just gave me a blank stare, a grin, and moved on

I cant believe that yall are eating fish out of the trinity

Learn something new every day!

Should be fun in there after the rains...
