Anybody been into any trout ponds lately? Gonna throw the sportspal on the wheels and drag into a favorite of mine this upcoming weekend.. I'm thinking the water temp should be right where it needs to be. And no bugs yet!!

The mosquitos and black flies are starting to make an appearance

We made it to a pond last weekend and did well.
I vowed to leave the phone and camera at the truck. The disconnection was needed more than the dang fish.
I've got a 14 year old that just MIGHT be ready to pack my canoe in for us. I might better get to enjoying him carrying while I can.
This is the best tip I've picked up from this thread.

Might be the best tip you ever got from this site

Fished last weekend at Bug Lake and got the ole skunk. As did a good number of other guys on the lake.. Trolled around for at least 5 - 6 hours with not one single bite.. The weather was great tho.. No wind. Nice day I had a good time just being out there.. I blame the lack of catching fish on the extremely diverse range of food/baitfish in the lake.. Just on the shore in shallow water I saw a school of minnows, crawfish, leeches, salamanders, and some sort of black underwater bug.. All in about one square foot area..  No wonder it's hit or miss there they all have a full stomach!! Oh well better luck next time.

Fished bug lake alot in the 90s...sockeye and brookies were plentiful but even earlier yrs  it was better,
bug just isn't the same
Riverrat you know any other ponds that hold these type of salmon?I'm interested if your willing to share...pm if so

Rat.. Thank you for the info on Bug.. Well known facts, but still helpful to those that have not fished it.. Ive gone there many years in the past and done quite well, got 2 Brook trout last year over 18" caught before noon on a wabbler and nymph combo within 20 min of eachother. Returned the following weekend and fished the same area, caught 0. It's all in water temp,moon phase, rise and set.. I wouldn't really say 80% of the fish are caught by 20% of the anglers (as if someone could troll a wabbler much different than the next guy) it's just about patience. Ya don't go and kill em every trip.. Bottom line. But thank you for the comment

albert einstein stated "the best sources of knowledge is experience"
so get out there and go fishing,every fisherperson fishes different

Thinking about going out tmmrw and Wednesday somewhere. Lows at night are making me hesitant, but i could use the serenity.

If anybody has any ponds that are a decent hike, but easily fished from shore and are not overgrown id be grateful for a pm. Still saving for a kayak. Until then im the boatless angler
