And, at times, the mixed-bag fishing in the Trinity River can be outstanding. The fishing has been really good day after day, even from the banks. The flow was reduced to virtually zero. Even with the flow shut down, people below the dam were still catching white bass and catfish. The fish and bait are stacked up and probably not going anywhere for a while.
White bass are the main event, especially for bank anglers.
White, yellow and chartreuse are the go-to colors. A proper jig pitched into a melee of feeding whites has a high-percentage chance of drawing a strike. Even scattered channel and blue catfish have been smacking the jigs. Of course, it helps to know what the limits are. Wardens have been emphatically reminding people.
