Our Mantua experience!

[new_fish]

So… we caught fish… woohoo! But we didn’t do anywhere near as well as scrollfish did. Ah well. It was good times! We spent Saturday morning and evening and Sunday morning and afternoon fishing. All and all we caught over a dozen between the two of us (we could have caught a million smallies if we wanted to but we were trying to get something a bit bigger.) All we managed to nab was perch and bluegill (and despite the warning one of them got me and… made me bleed… blasted bugger I was just trying to get him back in the water.) Overall we had a great time and learned a thing or two (or many things or two considering we’ve both only been fishing once and it was years ago.) Unfortunately we didn’t catch anything worth cooking so we’ll have to use those great cooking tips later.

So we have some new questions… (We got the advice to buy “fishing for dummies” so until we get it I’ll ask you guys)

How in the world do you keep the stupid worm on? Ours were bitten off who knows how many times (we took the advice of using smaller pieces of worm. We used about a third of a worm a cast.)

And… where is a good spot to go fishing that is within an hour’s drive of salt lake. We want to go out Saturday morning but aren’t sure where the best place would be.
