STOCKER TROUT FISHING

Welcome to Stocker Trout Fishing!

Checkout our blog at Stocker Trout Fishing!

Our intent is to collate information about fishing for stocked Rainbow Trout – specifically, in North Texas. In addition, we will include fishing reports when we make a dash across the border to Oklahoma, take road trips to the Guadalupe River in our home state of Texas, and on local trips to stocking locations in North Texas. Moreover, we plan to post information we hope is useful to Readers interested in fishing for stocked Trout!

Also, the Winter Trout Stocking Season in Texas typically runs from late November/December to early March. Do check back in the off season as we shift to warm water fishing and continue to post updates from the Field Team about fishing trips to local ponds, lakes, and rivers as well as the occasional run to the Texas Coast.

Do checkout our website and let us know how the fishing is in your area. We look forward to hearing from you! Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Sincerely, COAF Field Team

Micro Fishing | Two Piece Fly Rod at the Feeder Creek

Image
Quick trip after the day job to a feeder creek for some micro fishing with the two piece micro flyrod. Went with a Griffith’s Gnat fished dry as well as wet. Had few misses at first… smaller hook for these little fish would have been better. But, did catch a few once I found my mojo! Fun stuff! microfishing microflyrod #microflyfishing

First Time Center Pin Fishing #flyfishing #fishing #fun

Image
First time fishing with a Center Pin Reel. Had to practice and get my timing and release down. Managed to catch two Trout, improve my casting, and then closed out with ultralight baitcasting to get three more trout to make a limit. Do check back for more Center Pin Fishing. New way to fish for yours truly. Would be a great way to fish the tailrace at Denison Dam, Lewisville Lake Ecological Learning Area, and other rivers. For now, going to keep practicing at local ponds!

Bethany Lakes with the Four Weight this Round

Image
Yesterday we fished Sonic Pond with the four weight rod. Today, we fished Bethany Lakes with the four weight. Colder temps has the Winter Pattern in play; managed to catch a few using the same slow and steady retrieve that worked at Sonic Pond. Olive and Pink Near Deere continued to work as well; could not tell which was the preferred color as we lost the Olive one to a snag soon after catching the first fish. No more Olive in the fly box, so we went with Pink. Looked like the fish did not mind the color change!

Pond Fishing | GoFish Cam and Scouting for Fish

Image
Another pond fishing video where I try to scout the local pond for potential bruiser fish. Turned out mainly small fish but did have a promising strike on a bread bait of a Catfish. The underwater video is tough to make it out but luckily, I was able to see it pass through the led light while standing on the bank when it struck. Took the bobber under and the hook broke off. No worries… will be back once the pond clears up!

How We Load Our Kayak... #kayakfishing

Image
Struck out today but did get a good workout in kayak fishing. Tried Brockdale Park on Lake Lavon without a strike. Should have taken the hint when we did not see any Shad moving about. Used the fish finder to locate submerged structure but did not see any fish hanging out in the spots we found. No worries though, did take the opportunity to answer a Reader’s question on how we load our kayak. Since we have a little pickup truck, loading and unloading the 38lbs kayak can be done one handed by one person! Can’t catch them all, till next round… Good luck and good fishing!

To The Blue River This Afternoon

Image
Made it to the Blue River Tuesday afternoon! Had a great time; limited out with six Rainbow Trout. Caught and released a lot more! Used a Five Weight Fly Rod and fished a Tandem Rigged Near Deere and trailed either a GRHEN or a Rainbow Warrior. Started fishing the area by the Island. Caught four fish there – three fish went for a Brown Near Deere and one went for the GRHEN. Bite slowed by the Island, so headed downstream and fished the pockets and runs. Lost count of how many we caught and released. Did notice that roughly half the trout went for an Olive Near Deere and the other half went for a Rainbow Warrior. Did see a number of trout including a Bruiser lurking in the pockets but most were not interested in our fishing fly. Did manage to get one to take a Pink Near Deere as well as one that went for a Black Jig Fly that we picked up at Scotty’s. Ended the day at Hughes Crossing, catching a number of Trout on an Olive Near Deere and a Pink Near Deere. Fun time… even left them biting
