Fishing in the Morning, Part 4
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?
Ice Fishing in the Snow, Part 4
After catching only 3 trout at McDevitt Pond, I made my way to Sego Prairie Pond. A few familiar faces were at the pond, and the fishing started slowly until I found the correct depth. The fishing heated up even though the weather was frigid.
Newish Pond, New Friends, and Great Fish - Part 4
I fished this pond in January when it was frozen over. I returned to find the weather was too warm for ice, but since I have the equipment for ice fishing, I will give it a go anyway. Turns out to be a great day. I made some new friends and caught several fish. Enjoy the show.
Cold Weather Leads to Huge Success, Part 4
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.
When There’s No Trout, Part 4
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.
