HEY ALL,
I WENT TO TEACH MY DWR CLASS LAST NIGHT GOT TO WILLOW AT ABOUT 4:45 TIED ON A GOLD BLADE SPINNER WITH A TINY LITTLE BROWN TROUT HARD BODY BEHIND IT WITH A SMALL TREBLE ON THE REAR, WALKED THE POND JUST HUCKIN' THE LURE OUT AND KILLIN TIME BEFORE CLASS, CAUGHT 3 RAINBOWS ALL IN THE 10 TO 12 INCH RANGE, ALL WEIGHED A POUND, THE BIGGEST WAS MAYBE POUND AND A HALF. FISHED TILL 5:45 THEN PUT IT UP TO GO TEACH THE KIDS.
GOT THROUGH THE LESSON ON TYPES OF GEAR AND TACKLE, WENT TO THE SHORE TO SET UP THE KIDS. LITTLE GIRL WAS FIRST OUT ON THE NORTHERN MOST END OF THE POND JUST EAST OF THE DRAIN/OUTLET CEMENT GRATED THINGY THERE. WITHIN 30 SECONDS SHE WAS DANCING AROUND SCREAMING I GOT ONE I GOT ONE...REELED IN, 3 POUND LAKER. REALLY. NEXT KID GOES OFF...GOT ONE....POUNDER BOW, THEN THE OTHER KIDS GO IN ORDER.....ALL WITH RAINBOWS FROM THEN ON IN THE POUND RANGE. FISH COP WALKED OVER AND GAVE US A LOOK, ME AND THE OTHER INSTRUCTOR, LIKE THESE KIDS ARE FISHING AND YOU DONT HAVE YOUR LICENSES WITH YOU....SO WE OPENED OUR JACKETS AND FLASHED HIM OUR DWR VOLUTEER SHIRTS HE WALKED AWAY.
ALL IN ALL THE KIDS CAUGHT 2 OR 3 FISH EACH, USING A WORM ABOUT 10 TO 14 INCHES UNDER A BOBBER, MAN IT SEEMED THE HARDER THE WIND BLEW THE BETTER, AT ONE POINT THE WATER GLASSED OVER AND EVEN THE FLY WHIPPERS HAD FISH ON THEIR HANDS. I ENDED UP CATCHING 3 FISH IN ABOUT AN HOUR. I DIDNT FISH AFTER, I WAS GONNA BUT THE RAIN CAME AND LIGHTNING SO I HEADED HOME. NOT A BAD 2 HOURS OF TEACHING KIDS...I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME UN HOOKING FISH AND PUTTING "NEW" WORMS ON THE HOOKS...WE WERE USING LIKE SIZE 6 HOOKS...BOBBER WITH 2 SPLIT SHOT UNDER IT TO CAST IT AGAINST THE WIND. VERY FUN, VERY VERY FUN.
LATERS,
P.S. FIN-S-FISH DID YOU MAKE IT TO THE POND, I LOOKED AROUND BUT DIDNT SEE ANYONE STARING AT ME...LOL....SO IF YOU WERE THERE I WAS THE GUY JUST WALKING THE SHORELINE AROUND THE LAKE.
