Fishing
Fishing in the Evening, Part 1
Brown's Pond is a tradition; however, not all traditions carry on. My family has been to McCall almost every summer since I was around 8 years old. Last year, some things changed that would no longer allow us to visit as we once did. Despite that, Mrs Wandering Idahoan and I made the quick trip up to Brown's pond to keep the fishing tradition alive. Let's see what performs better: evening fishing or morning fishing (coming in Episode 14). Which time of day do you think will perform better?
My Top 5 Artificial Baits
Fishing was pretty rough this week, with the heat making the fish sluggish and unwilling to eat. The local ponds are also not getting any new fish stocked in them during these hot Summer months, so there are fewer fish to go around. Since I was striking out at the ponds, I thought I'd share my personal top 5 artificial baits. Enjoy!
A Slow Day at a Typically Hot Pond
Sego Prairie Pond is usually an excellent pond to fish, especially when stocked heavily. However, this day was not a great day. I arrived at sunrise, and the fish were rising everywhere. Despite this, I struggled to find what it was exactly that they were hungry for. Sometimes...often, the struggle is real.
Fish When the Fishing is Good, Part 3
When the fish stocking kicks off, you have to take advantage. That usually means getting to the water before anyone and everyone else. The local ponds fill up fast in the most densely populated place in the state. But if you can get to the fish first, the fishing can be wonderful, and the sunrise usually makes for a nice perk.
