December 27, 2020

Pretty sure Sunday was the last fishing trip of 2020 for me. Went to a nearby park with a trout-stocked pond. The pond was about 65% covered with a thin layer of ice.
The open areas were mostly near submerged aerators. Managed to land 5 trout. Mostly pretty chunky, I wonder what they are eating?

Decided to go look at the creek that was high and muddy last time I fished it. This time it was low and more clear. Caught a nice creek chub.

Mid-December 2020

The first weekend of December, I tried for stocker trout...and got skunked.

2nd weekend, I tried a new-to-me lake...for whatever would be willing to play. Turned out it was bass and bluegills.

Then I visited a creek, which was high, muddy, and fast from a lot of rain we got the previous evening.

I expected to get skunked, but was saved by a couple nice Creek Chubs. The bigger one measured 11"!

And then the next weekend I visited a new-to-me small lake that has stocker trout. Got skunked. So I went back to another pond that has the stocker trout that skunked me the last time I tried it a couple weekends back. I didn't get skunked this time. 2 Rainbow Trout and 4 White Crappie.

OLD Fishing Pictures - Part 2

Found more of my old fishing pictures. Some of these may be of the same fish from the previous Old Pictures post (2 posts ago)...but they are different pictures of the same fish so...eh...why not? Most I haven't previously posted.

Iowa Musky (it cut my line right in front of me, so I stepped into the water and pushed the fish to the bottom to contain it/capture it. So, some of the mud stuck to its belly. If I'd have noticed, I could have washed it off before the pics!)
