Fresh Spring Stocking & Crowded Fishing
The nearby pond was stocked for the first time this spring, and the crowds were waiting. Unusually warm weather had the pond bank packed right as the sun rose. It was a decent day of fishing, even with people on either side of me. Everyone was friendly, and almost everyone caught a fish. Made for a pretty great day.
This Basic, No Nonsense Rig WORKS! Part 2
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.

Making Do on a Difficult Day
On a cold, blustering day, I set out to try my luck at my new favorite pond, Mariposa. With the wind at my back, I manage to find some bites up close and turn a difficult day into a successful one. These trout were mostly small, but given the weather, I was happy to get whatever was biting.
