The Pond
Pond isn't doing very good I'm afraid. Seems as though we have a parasite virus or something. Little white worms in the flesh of the fish. I need to do some research and find out how to best treat it.
6th Street Dam
I hit 6th street dam in Grand Rapids Wed & Thrus this week. Wednesday- I took 2 bass and one channel cat. No Salmon to be found. A guy I've never seen down there before reported 2 walleye (both in the low 20 inch range) were taken mid afternoon in the bowl drifting crawlers. Like I said.. I've never seen the guy before so you know..... Walleye in the bright sunlight of afternoon in 3 feet of water ..... hmmm... .. not so sure about that one but ok. Thursday- I landed a couple of small bass and I saw one King (almost stepped on the thing) It was pretty dark and looked like it had been in the river for a while. A guy(someone I do know and trust), said that one King was taken early in the morning on a fly/egg. It was a hen and was also pretty dark. These couple of fish were probably from the little cold snap we had a couple weeks ago. Water is still pretty warm.
Good flathead and channel cat action in the evenings. Saw a couple nice ones taken by some guys using cut bait.
Good Fishin,
