Fishing
New Pond, Great Fish, Part 1
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.
Finding Some Better Bluegills, Part 6
I was trying a different pond that sometimes has stocked trout, but I knew that was unlikely. However, I was pretty confident that there would be a few good-sized bluegill, if nothing else was biting. While there were mostly 4-inchers, I did manage to catch a few larger gills, and the trip was an overall success.
Ice Fishing Season Conclusion, Part 3
I head to Sego Prairie Pond with my ice fishing gear for one last go. The sun kept me warm while the fishing was hot and cold throughout the day. In the end, I hooked into some good trout. I hadn't used my Dieselbait Eggs in a while, and the orange variety on a jig head turned out to be a winning combo.
