Cold Weather Leads to Huge Success, Part 1
Back at McDevitt to see if the trout are still biting with the sudden cold snap. Turns out, they are hungrier than ever. I really get into them for what becomes one of my better days at this pond despite the cold.
Some Misses - Mostly Hits, Part 1
McDevitt has been stocked with some of the biggest trout the pond has had in a while. They aren't the brooders, but they are bigger than usual and a lot of fun. Today, I managed to get into some of the biggest of the bigs. I hope you enjoy the tight lines.
Stocked Trout are Big & Hungry, Part 1
McDevitt has been stocked with some of the biggest trout the pond has had in a while. They aren't the brooders, but they are bigger than usual and a lot of fun. My day was made when I hooked into my first trout on my first cast. The rest of the day, while not perfect, was a blast.
Trout’s Back on the Menu, Part 1
Back at McDevitt Pond, but this time, the trout are back, and they are chunky. Had some trouble holding onto these thicker trout and threading the needle between the weeds. It turned into a great day with a good number of beautiful rainbow trout.
When There’s No Trout, Part 1
I went to the local pond nearest my home to see if there were any holdover trout from the summer. Since Idaho Fish & Game doesn't stock the ponds during summer, it isn't easy to catch any trout. Most ponds are depleted from fishing and from predators like Cormorants and Ospreys. When that happens, you move on to catching panfish and, hopefully, a bass or two.
