After long negotiations & deliberations I decided to fish close to home on Saturday. Fight4Not joined me along with his father in law and my son.
The morning started out red-hot and it never really cooled down all day. Speaking of redhot I started the morning by burning my hand with liquid propane. I was trying to screw in a can of propane to my heater when the valve stuck open and the gas turned to liquid as it shot out on my hand. I now have some nice blisters on my hand. Anyway back to the fishing...The stocker trout were going crazy from the time that we put in our first pole until we left for the day. We did not keep an exact count but we all agreed that we had landed at least 40 and that was mostly by accident because we were trying to keep them off our hook so we could land more perch. We ended up with 133 perch. The largest was 8 1/2" and most of them were 5-6". We kept them all and I was glad that Fight4Not came over to my house for a fillet lesson.[
] Over the last few weeks we have taken out well over 300 and judging by numbers we are still seeing on the aqua-view we have not even made a dent in the population. We also saw Ovidcreek on the ice and it looked like he was doing pretty well.
The best part of the day was watching Fight4Not with his head down the cone of hole trying to watch all the fish. Thanks for a great day.
