Ice Fishing in the Snow, Part 2
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 2
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.
Low Water, High Fish Count, Part 2
With the Honey Worm on the weighted float, the fishing heats up. When you find what they are hungry for, the fishing quickly improves. I also discovered that I must be patient and wait for the second strike to get a good hookset. Trying to set the hook on the first strike resulted in miss after miss. Waiting for that second strike improved my hooksets to nearly 100%.
Cold Weather Leads to Huge Success, Part 2
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 2
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.
