Texas Fish Report

The trout fishing has been good following Wednesday’s plant, but an overabundance of rain and run off may put a damper on things in the coming week. Fausto Barron of Escondido had big trout honors this week with his 8.90# trout caught using rainbow powerbait on the east end of the lake. Powerbait or mousetails have been effective and no part of the lake is not producing at present. As the water becomes stained, and visibility lessens, try dipping your bait in scent for better results.

Modest numbers of Crappie were being caught prior to the rains. Crappie are most often caught using live golden shiners or mini-jigs.

Catfish, who are less dependent on sight to find food, are often a good option to go after in muddy conditions. Lake Wohlford cats prefer cut mackerel, or chicken liver.
