I fished the Hatchery from 5:00A.M. until 9:30A.M. I only had two hits both of which I missed. I only saw two fish caught in the Hatchery Hole but that does not mean that there were not others that I did not see. At 8:00 I counted 22 bank fisherman, 19 boats and around 20 float tubes in the Hatchery Hole. I had a good time despite my lack of success. There were many boats packed in closer then 100 yards.
Sunday we had a family memorial for Kenny Kiesling who drowned last year near Massacre Rocks. (Below American Falls) We placed a sign that reminded people of the dangers of the area and also remembered a dear friend and relative who was always ready for another fishing trip. Please be careful out there this year. i.e. wear a wading belt etc...
Monday we fished Roberts Gravel Pond with no success. I do not think that the Fish and Game stocked it. I watched many, many families drive away without success. (Is this a family fishery?) We also fished the Rexburg Nature Pond which I know was not stocked. We ended up catching several small perch and chub minnows. The Nature Pond was hit hard by many people and I just wonder why it was not stocked so that the kids in the community could have some success and want to fish in the future. It was kind of
to hear small children screaming with the excitement of a 3" minnow.[crazy]
Overall, good weekend poor fishing success. What will this weekend bring? Any information on the recent activities of Condie or Twin Lakes would be greatly appreciated. I am really hoping to have a good weekend for bluegill just so that kids can stay interested. Looking forward to hearing your posts throughout the summer. All of you who are hiding in the background, come out and talk so that this community can grow and we can all learn from each other.
