Bass Pond Hurricane Fields April 18, 2008

April 18, 2008 Apple Fields Pond.

Kyle Lallis and I have been talking about fishing together since high school it seems like, but this week we finally went. I only had a couple hours on Friday, so Kyle told me about a little pond in the fields that you wouldn't believe had bass. We started fishing around 5p.m. it was a little breezy and probably around 76-78 degrees, Lallis thought the water was around 50 degrees.

When we arrived to the pond I couldn't believe that the pond we were parked at had fish. Myself being very persistent with only using my fly rod, I thought I might have some challenges. Lallis being a master bass fishermen started catching fish right of the get go. I had what I though were a few bites, and Lallis gave me some tips on the way bass take bait. After that I started to feel the subtle takes, and started catching fish. We fished for a couple hours, I caught 5, and Lallis probably had 10, but he had 2 that were at least 3lb's. I couldn't believe there were that big of fish in this little muddy pond.

Lallis and I got to now each other a bit, and have had some of the same experiences in life through fishing. We both are always looking for someone to fish with, and many times we fish alone. Hopefully this summer we can catch some trout together, but a few bass wouldn't be so bad as long as there on my fly rod.

Mammoth Creek April 4, 2008

Ole Magneto and I took a little sick day Friday and did a little fishing. We went up 89 searching for some good clear water that had fish. We ended up doing a little driving around looking for the best water. We ended up fishing the lower half of mammoth creek. We spotted a fish on first arrival, so we knew there were fish. We both fished different styles of the streams. Matt fished the slow winding stream in the fields, and i fished the narrow faster part of the stream. We both had no luck, but i stalked a couple of probably 17-18" nice browns. I had no luck; although i threw everything at them i could think of. We stopped and had an excellent burger in Hatch, and called it a day. I think we both got a better understanding of the area, and will be fishing it much more this upcoming season. I think i am going to try to fish Miners ville this weekend. I hear it is really hot right now.

Get it while its hot...

I am going to be making a fishing order through a wholesale distributor i have through work. Let me know if you need anything: flies, pontoon boats, line, etc. Its a good deal let me know.

Lost Virginity

This was Matt's first trip fly fishing, and the first trip to the glorious Blue Springs. I think he caught about 22 fish in 2 days back to back. He was sold on the idea of fly fishing, but he met a lady that is now his wife. I do not need to say more. Maybe he will choose to pick up the rod again this upcoming season. He was a natural.

Fishing Blues

I think I can speak for all fishermen when i say that I've got the fishing blues. It is that time of the year when we pull out the fly-tying gear if we haven't already. Its that time of the year we starting planning our fishing trips, and forget about all of the things that our girlfriends or wife's will be wanting to do. It's the time of the year when all of the true trout fishermen even start thinking about throwing a plug or jig at a bass. If anyone's got a good idea about puttin a fish on the end of a line give me a shout.
