Fishing
Micro-Fishing with a Tenkara Rod
The spring can be tough, even with stocked ponds. Once the weather warms, the people come out in droves. That means the fish numbers drop much faster, and usually, fishing is good for a single week, then you're left looking at other ponds more recently stocked to find some more fish to catch. Sometimes, the trout just aren't there, so you make it work in a fun way. The local pond scheduled stocking was missed, but the baby bass and blue gill were now numerous and hungry. Time for the Tenkara rod and some micro fishing.
Grinding in the Rain, Part 2
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.
Grinding in the Rain, Part 1
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.
Monster Rainbow Trout
I Went back to the local pond looking for more palomino trout. I found one on my first cast while still trying to set up my drop shot rig. That was grand enough, but the final trout I hooked into was the largest I've caught this year. It was both gorgeous and massive. While I love catching these rare palominos, a monster rainbow with a lot of fight is just as wonderful for me to hook into. What a grand day.
