Fall Trout Fishing Begins
With the falling leaves comes the restocking of the rainbow trout in our local ponds and waterways. I was thrilled to see that it finally happened after the first scheduled stocking came and went without any trout being deployed to our ponds. It was wonderful to finally catch some trout again.
Settling for Pumpkinseeds, Part 2
Kleiner Pond was supposed to be stocked with trout, but that didn't happen, so I tried for a few panfish and ended up finding a big school of small pumpkinseeds. I also find a bluegill or two and even a baby bass.

Finding Some Better Bluegills, Part 6
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.
