Keep the Texas Freshwater Fishery Center in Athens in mind for trout this season!  There is an opportunity to catch trout each Season to include a Bruiser that lurks in the ponds. Which pond does it lurk in? In this video snippet, the big one that went by was in the pond named "Zebco Pond". PS: Do check out other trips to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center!

Made it to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens, TX for a go at the trout stocked recently! Was an interesting round; the trout wanted “green” fishing flies and lures fished fast. Tried various fishing flies and different retrieves before settling on a short pull, steady retrieve. Did miss a number of strikes as well as lost a few when they threw the barbless hook. That said, did limit out plus has a great time exploring the Center. Do check out the video, and do stay till the end for the bonus. PS: Was not certain if a fishing license was required. Later, confirmed with the TFFC that fishing is included in the price of admission… no fishing license needed!

Made the run down the road to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens for a chance at trout. Cool place with several ponds to fish. We opted to fish the Casting Pond. Maybe next round we will give it a go at the other locations. Bite started out good with several strikes on the Olive Near Deere; even landed a couple to put on the stringer. Then, things slowed as well as the are became clobbered with pine needles. Luckily, a slight wind clear the area later in the day, and the trout became more active, too. In short order, we managed to put eight more on the stringer to make a total of ten! Two of us limited out; one of us had an issue with landing the trout once hooked. No worries though, was a great time to be out on a warm November day! PS: No fishing licence is required. Entrance fee includes fishing; however, if you want to harvest the trout, an additional fee of $5 is required. There are other regulations to be aware of… we includes a copy of the pamphlet that has mor...

It’s still raining in our area, but we do see another fly fishing event is scheduled for this Saturday. The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens is hosting Fly Fish Texas ! It offers an opportunity to learn about fly fishing, attend seminars, and catch Rainbow Trout stocked in TFFC’s ponds and streams! Sounds like lots of fun, and if the rain will let up by Saturday, the only dilemma to deal with is going south to Athens for Fly Fish Texas or west to Fort Worth for TRWD’s Flyfest! Can only wish to have problems like these instead of the non-fishing related ones we deal with constantly. The fun starts at 9AM and goes to 4PM this Saturday, March 12, 2016!
