Casting in McKinney

Fishing Warm water Forum

Saturday AM a whole gaggle of casters met at McKinney’s Towne Lake to cast. We learned, shot the breeze and had lunch.

I learned that a twelve year old can be a font of information! Taylor showed me how to cast the sley rod that I showed up with.

My son decided that he needs a spey rod in the worst way (ouch!) And I learned a bit more about rod loading and casting cadence/timing.

Hot in Texas, but not as bad as it could be!

Artan watches the rod tip (hey its loading its loading!)

“What the…?” (how many times have we been in that position after a cast?)

“Whoa!!”

Sounds like ya’ll had a good time. How is Towne Lake for fishing? I live in Carrollton and drive out that way fairly often.

Seasonal. Although with all this rain that is subject to change. I intend to fish it with my kayak here soon and see how it works out to hit it from seaside.

Great pics! Looked like a good time. Yep, i’ve had that same expression many times. lol. You’re son wants to get into the spey thing, eh? It’s a blast! I’ve been doing it for several seasons, mostly for steelhead and salmon, but I just got into it for smallie fishing, too. Good times!
