July25 - 26, Gold Springs

After wolfing down a semi burnt Mitchells smokie, smothered in mustard, my boy insisted we have to go fishing to try and catch one of the five fish rising in the pond. After carefull examination of the pond, I came to the conclusion that there were indeed only four fish rising. Our rod of choice this weekend happens to be a 2 lb, 3 foot, 1 piece, medium action, bright red lighting mcqueen limited edition casting rod. We slowly walked the shoreline scouting the perfect spot to cast for the big one. We decided to go with the red and white bobber with a prince nymph dropper, with just a dab of pink power bait. The first 15-20 minites were very slow, a 1/2hr in the 4 fish started to rise near us , and shortly after that we had our first nibble. In the next 15 minites we had numerous strikes at the dropper but were unable to land any. Saturday was much of the same, did not see any fish rise until supper time, and the 2 fish that were rising, because 2 fisheridiots kept 2 fish, that were the size of a smelt, wanted nothing to do with us.

On a side note I'm thinking green marshmallows were the way to go as the lake was littered with them. A stick of dynamite may of worked as well.

P.S. A great place to take the family camping. I was told there was a lot of winter kill this spring and they are making a effort to restock.
