Cold Weather Leads to a Great Day, Part 2

Location: Mariposa Pond, Boise, Idaho

Bait: Bowerbait Eggs & Honeyworm

Rig: Telescopic Rod & Pfleuger Spinning Reel

Species: Rainbow Trout

I was just trying to find a pond with some fish. After trying two other ponds without a single bite, I was getting cold (temps were below freezing with wind chill) and frustrated. Mariposa Pond turned everything around. The Powerbait Eggs were the big winner here, but I also caught one on a Honeyworm off a float. The most interesting development of this outing was the difference between two Powerbait Egg colors. I caught bigger fish when using the yellow and white egg combination; however, I caught smaller fish when I switched to yellow and pink eggs.

Thanks for joining me on my fishing adventures. I hope to see you again next week.
