Fished Maybe Pond again today in the snow and rain. Started at 2:40 and left at 3:25 with 4 good sized cats for the deep fryer. Lost 4 and released 3. There were tons of planter rainbows splashing and jumping around. I think they stocked it this morning.
I used minnows and small chunks of perch meat. (I used perch because i caught a small one in there this year right after the ice came off).
They should start stocking channel cats into the community ponds within the next 2 weeks. The size and amount will drastically increase.
Watch for rabbid ducks and geese! They almost took me out today. LOL.
I got soaked sitting out there, but it was worth it.

Careful there Mr. lunker. Yellow perch are not legal to use as bait in the [url "http://www.utahfishinginfo.com/utahlakes/urbanponds.php"]Utah Community Ponds[/url]. The 2006 proclamation states:
(b) Dead yellow perch may be used as bait only in: Deer Creek, Fish Lake, Echo, Gunnison, Hyrum, Johnson, Jordanelle, Mantua, Mill Meadow, Newton, Pineview, Rockport, Starvation, [url "http://www.utahfishinginfo.com/utahlakes/utahlake.php"]Utah Lake[/url], and Willard Bay reservoirs.

DOH! I had someone tell me last week that if there were perch in the waters you could use them. Guess they were wrong and i was too. It will never happen again! Chub minnows work fine anyway. Thanks for the heads up catman.

We fished the pond a few weeks back and it looked like they had just stocked it with brood stock. We got a rainbow and an albino trout. They were quite large. Very ugly but big.
I have fished that pond since they opened it up and have never seen a perch come out of there. It seems they have a habit of showing up where they really don't need to be.
It is a fun little pond to take the kids and I have seen some nice cats come out of there.
Hey Mark [hydrotech] have you fished it lately?

No prob. I'd hate to see ya get busted for something you didn't even know - and such an easy thing to comply with.
Thanks for the report. I'll be out at [url "http://www.utahfishinginfo.com/utahlakes/urbanponds.php#salempond"]Salem Pond[/url] this Saturday.

Thanks for the info catman. I will be interested in your Salem Pond report. Might even head down there myself, my parents live in Salem.
