Texas Fish Report

We finally received our 2nd trout stocking of the season! This one was supposedly 1,000 lbs. of rainbow trout. Since they dumped the trout in, anglers have been having good results. They stocked the main launch ramp so most of the trout have been caught around that area. Power-baits, trout mini-jigs, and Kastmasters seem to be working the best. The swimbait bite has ultimately been tough for anyone chucking big baits. Only a handful of fish have been reported. The stripers are still biting, but mainly in deeper water. Spoons, ice jigs, and small swimbaits seem to be working for some anglers out there. The key is to find a school of them, but is difficult without a fish finder to say the least. Largemouth and smallmouth still are hard to find, but more and more anglers have been able to key in on what they want to eat. Some deep diving reaction baits, umbrella rigs, and small shad swimbaits have been able to produce a few bites. The good old drop-shot is still able to get you some fish, but it has been a tough grind. The catfish are making less of an appearance with the colder water. Bluegill and Crappie have also been hard to target and best bet is the lagoon for these species.
