yes sir. and alot of mine are on Polaroids and 35mm. lol
the good ol days of 10 fish limits and fillets for everyone! countless 3 night weekends with 3 buddies. 90 nice chunky 20"avg bows. we ate like kings and drank like sailors. lol
and yes the gills get uuuuge in there. i netted a 12+" hog for the step dad one night. we thought he had a trout on, the way it was peeling his, johnson county miles, drag. lol that was 45 min after the firworks show on the island. soon after the fireworks stopped we started hammering them and were limited out in just over an hour!
do you guys know where i could find old stocking records? there is a family picture of gramps and a huge stringer of trout. from the looks of the picture it was taken at ball lake ramp. nobody knows for sure where it was taken though. makes me wonder if they ever stocked ball with bows. the earliest lake map book i have is "74".
I do know they DID stock Ball Lake with rainbows. They even stocked Dallas Lake at one time.
You can get fish stocking records from the Fawn River Fish Hatchery or possibly from the Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station. Contact Neil Ledet at Fawn River for any info you need.
