Fishing
When There’s No Trout, Part 2
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.

Tenkara for Lots of Baby Bass, the Conclusion
Finishing off at the stocked pond. With the biggest fish coming in at about 6 inches, we certainly aren't breaking any records. Despite their size it is still fun to see such small fish be so aggressive. Ends up being a fun little day of fishing.
Tenkara for Lots of Baby Bass, the Beginning
Started out at Kleiner Pond fishing for sunfish, but after almost 2 hours of fishing, a single bluegill was not cutting it. I went back to my regular stocked pond and played around with my Dragontail Kaida Tenkara rod. Started out a bit slow as I worked to find what was most effective to draw the bite. Soon, I was bringing them left and right.
