Fishing
Finding Some Better Bluegills, Part 2
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.
Micro Fishing (Last Resort of Late Summer), Part 2
It's late summer, the heat is high, and the ponds haven't been stocked in over two months. Fall stocking is right around the corner, but what does a fisherman do until then? Micro Fishing! I head to a local pond full of bluegills, baby bluegills. While it doesn't compare to catching big fish, micro fishing can be fun. How small can they get and still take the hook? Watch to find out.
Fishing in the Morning, Part 2
Brown's Pond is a tradition; however, not all traditions carry on. My family has been to McCall almost every summer since I was around 8 years old. Last year, some things changed that would no longer allow us to visit as we once did. Despite that, Mrs Wandering Idahoan and I made the quick trip up to Brown's pond to keep the fishing tradition alive. Let's see what performs better: evening fishing or morning fishing (coming in Episode 14). Which time of day do you think will perform better?

Fish When the Fishing is Good, Part 2
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.
