The fish are biting


Like most others, I went to KDOT East to catch trout.  Most would fish and leave.  Of course, I stay, and fish and try one thing after another until something works.

Even after I start catching bluegill or catfish, I keep a line in the water for trout.  I keep casting flies and spoons and spinners.


Tonight we are eating bluegill.  I usually bring home 2 -3 pounds (12 -18 fish).  They are easy to freeze until you have time to cook them.   When all else fails, fish close to shore near the brush and trees.  Keep moving around until you find the one spot where they are hitting.  Fish that exact spot over and over until you have what you need.
