Catching fish (Rainbow Trout & Green Sunfish) at Lockhart State Park

Jeff, Wayne and I went to Lockhart State Park to fish. Texas Parks & Wildlife stocked some trout there a couple of weeks ago.  We caught 7 Rainbow Trout and 4 Green Sunfish between us.

We caught them all on flies I  have tied :) All fish, except 1, were caught on olive colors. The other fish was caught on a Prince Nymph.

We did see some otters in the water, but I could not get a video of them, only a picture.
