Fishing
Picky Trout can be Difficult
The pond was restocked, and I tried my luck, but the trout proved difficult. In 3 hours of fishing, I wasn't even able to hook into half a dozen trout. A fellow fisherman was equally surprised by the result we were both having. Despite our efforts, we struggled to find what the trout wanted. It was a slow and challenging day, but we did catch some fish, and that makes any day on the water a special one.
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.

Finally, a Good Day at the Local, Part 2
As the temperature was just above freezing and the sun was beginning to rise, I arrived to fish the pond closest to my home. I had not succeeded at this pond in months and hoped to turn things around on this trip. It started hot but quickly turned sour. I persisted, and that made all the difference.
