Fishing
When There’s No Trout, Part 1
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.
Time, Temperature, and Determination (Part 2)
The good times keep rolling for this day. Once I figured out the rig and the fish got hungry, it was smooth sailing. Not the best day ever, but certainly a great day.
Time, Temperature, and Determination (Part 1)
My patience was being testing on this outing. What had been working the last several times was no longer getting the job done. I switch up my rig finally, and, with the warmer temps and not giving up, the bite really picks up.
