Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo Karl's photo of the 12 pond bass that didn't show up on the previous post. Sorry for the mistake.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo Local angler Karl Elliott caught a trophy bass on Oak Creek Reservoir to round out the year on a high note. This 12 pound bass was caught on 12/30/09 in 44 degree water dragging a 7 inch worm in 15 to 20 feet of water. This falls short of the lake record of 12.88 caught in the year 2000, but Karl has been on some fis...h. The other photo shows Karl with two nice fish he caught in the month of November. Great fishing Karl.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo On the first Sunday of each month, the San Angelo Standard-Times publishes articles written by staff at the TPWD fisheries office. We cover a wide variety of topics related to fisheries management. The Sunday 3 January issue talks about smallmouth buffalo fishing. A condensed version of each article is also publishe...d in Conexion Hispana - the local Spanish language newspaper.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo 332 harvestable size rainbow trout are scheduled to be stocked this week (week of 28 December) in the Concho River between Oakes St. and Irving St. as part of the Neighborhood Fishin' program. Trout will be stocked every two weeks until the first week in March. Kid's aged 16 and under don't need a license.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo The fish populations at lakes Colorado City, Moss Creek, and E.V. Spence have been severely impacted by toxic golden alga blooms since 2001. Our water samples for this December show that these lakes are not being spared this year. Currently, there is no cost-effective way of treating these lakes.

O.C Fisher Lake record White Crappie
1.91 lb White Crappie caught 11-21-09 flipping crappie jigs under a cork to stick ups in the river channel. This is a spring time technique, but the lake is so low the fish don't have many options. Caution is required while boating on the lake.
Yesterday, district staff, Bobby Farquhar, and Craig Bonds met with Dr. Rey Patino and students Matt Van Landeghem and Seth Long to discuss golden alga research possibilities at O.H. Ivie. Don't worry, there's no problem at Ivie. It's the two rivers that feed it that are of interest...
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo Going to a Texas Brigades board meeting tomorrow. Texas Brigades is an organization that runs wildlife and fisheries leadership camps for high school youth. Bass Brigade may need to find a new venue for July 2010. If you know of any group camps that will accomodate 60 and have waterfront access (and not very expensi...ve), please let us know! If you know any young-uns who are into hunting, fishing, or nature, tell them about our camps. Adult volunteers are needed, too. Check us out at www.texasbrigades.org.

The Texas Brigades is a wildlife-focused leadership development program for high school youth (ages 13-17). There are four different camps: Bobwhite Brigade, Buckskin Brigade, Feathered Forces, and Bass Brigade.
Evan McNulty Thanks for Everything! Keep up the good works!

Trout season is here! These cold-water fish only come to Texas water bodies during the winter, when TPWD stocks them in small lakes and rivers statewide. San Angelo is getting their first stocking of 332 trout this week, in the same spot as always: between Irving and Oakes Street. The same number will be stocked her...e every two weeks through early March. They take canned corn, salmon eggs, and trout marshmallows, and can also be caught on small flashy spinners and sinking flies. If you catch some, make sure and post your pictures here. For more info on TPWD's annual trout programs, follow this link: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fis
Happy fishing!

Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo It never ceases to amaze me how some people will completely trash a natural area that they are there to enjoy. Every time we go to Twin Buttes, North Pool or South Pool, we see tons of trash on the ground. There's no excuse for this! Pack it in . . . pack it out. It's really not a difficult concept.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo We were given two artificial habitat structures by a local angler, and we decided to deploy them into Twin Buttes' south pool to enhance the limited habitat there, and provide a target for anglers. But, things don't always go as planned . . . the structure didn't sink, even with rocks added. So, we are going to try a...gain today, with some cinder blocks tied to it. GPS waypoints for these structures will be posted soon.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Inland Fisheries--San Angelo The trap net sample from OH Ivie was very spotty . . . only 1.9 crappie per net-night, which is not as good as it has been in the past three samples. The spatial distribution was obviously skewed towards the upper end of the lake. In fact, the only nets that had more than a couple of crappie were the ones at the fart...hest upstream sites on both the Concho and Colorado River arms. The most interesting thing we saw out there this week wasn't even a fish . . . check out the video of the little buck crossing the lake. We were speeding along the channel at mid-lake when we spotted him right in the middle.
