New Pond, Great Fish, Part 1

Location: Sawyers Pond, Emmett, Idaho

Bait: Trout Magnet Jig Head with Honeyworms and Powerbait Eggs on #12 hook off a slip weight

Rig: Telescoping Rod & Pfleuger Spinning Reel

Species: Rainbow Trout

Spring stocking has begun, but not as I'd hoped. Many of the ponds were not stocked on schedule, and it looks like a repeat of last year. In an attempt to get in on the first stocking of the year, I drove more than 30 minutes to a pond I hadn't fished before. It was supposed to have been stocked with 450 rainbow trout. I didn't get a single bite. I was ready to head home and decided to stop by a neighboring pond that was supposed to have been stocked as well. I almost didn't bother, but I got out with just one rod and gave it a go. Boy, am I glad I did.

Thanks for joining me on my fishing adventures. I hope to see you again next week.
