The local waters get busy when the warm weather returns, and the fish get stressed. The best you can do is arrive early; hopefully, the fish will be well-rested, active, and hungry. I arrived just before sunrise and moved quickly to get a good spot; the effort paid off instantly.

Finushed at Sego Prairie Pond, I finally found some fish. Turned into a cold, wet, long day, but catching some fish made it all worth it.

Started at McDevitt with not even a bite. Went to Fuller Park to try for Crappie, hooked one small Bluegill that came off the hook at the shoreline. Finally, at Sego Prairie Pond, I found some fish. Turned into a cold, wet, long day, but catching some fish made it all worth it.

Back at McDevitt Pond, looking to see what trout remain after the winter stocking hiatus is nearing its end. I knew I had to explore the pond in order to find where the fish had settled. Thankfully, I found them quite quickly. Turned out to be a great day.
