Lake Comanche trout pond

I took my grandson to the trout pond at Lake Comanche. We arrived on Monday 4/3 and left Thursday. Weather was great. They hadn't stocked the pond for 2 weeks, so fishing was slow. I have a small Sevylor raft that I like to take out there and row around. Cormorands and Pelicans are competing with you, which drives the fish deeper or into the shallow reeds. The only fish I saw caught were all on Power Bait sitting on the bottom from the bank. In the three days, I saw 4 fish caught. I did catch an 18 inch Lightning Trout out in the middle deep water casting, letting sink and then retrieving the 1/2 Senco worm. This is the only place I've ever fished where the trout regularly hit plastic bass worms.Why??? I wish I knew. They usually stock on Thursday or Friday and since they skipped the pond last week, I assume it got stocked after I left Thursday. If you are there after they stock, you'll catch fish often for about 3 days. It's great for kids. Bluegill were hanging out in the shallow water where my grandson and other kids fished for them with small hooks and a piece of worm. They had fun. There are also Black Bass in the pond, but I don't fish for them.
