End of the stocking

Now that two weeks have gone by since the first stocking, it seems that the fishing has slowed.  Everyone says that it gets better later in the season.

The flatland fly fishers are serious about their business.  They fish often and do well.  They even fish all through the winter, no matter how cold.  The trout keep biting.

The catfish and bass fishermen also keep at it.  They concentrate on the northeast side of the lake where the sun shines all day.  They keep using the same stinky baits, but have to search for the right spot.

I checked out Vic's Pond and KDOTE.  Seems they are slow today too.  You can see the trout working the surface, and even jumping.  Even the  bluegill and crappie and bass and catfish are not enthused about a tour of land duty right now.  They nibble, but don't bite. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

However, the weather was very nice this afternoon.  It warmed up and calmed down.  The problem with fishing on a nice day, is you are more likely to get in trouble for getting home late.
