I learned yesterday, the research hatchery stocked Thissel Pond for the second time this spring Wed. Went there this afternoon and hubby and I limited out in about 3 hours. Strangely, as we arrived everyone was saying "no bites or nuthing"?
I threw a couple pf Berkely "bubble gum" eggs and had a fish on fast! They hubby switched from reg. power bait to the "bubble gum" eggs and we had a ball! Lost some, many bites(hungry hatchery fish) and the others are looking at us like we are from Mars?
I then shared some of my bubble gum eggs with a boy and his family. "Bam", they started catching trout? Others on the pond are throwing stuff and little action?
This kinda boosted my "self esteem" after not catching a "keeper" steelie this winter?
Anyway, we just cleaned them and will brine and smoke this week end.
I guess always next year for my "keeper"steelie? :)
