I have to cross the canal and an open c&r trout stream on my way to my dad's house so I decided to bring gear for both.
First, the canal. Spent an hour jigging. The water is dirt brown and flowing hard but the fish are still there. Saw 3 shorts caught and I got an 18" & dumped one.
Then I hit the trout stream for a half an hour. Glad I did. Got 3 cookie cutters like this
And finished off with this beauty
That was a fun little trip.
Merry Christmas everyone!
