It was a very good day, and I enjoyed it a lot! I didn't mean to give the impression that I am so spoiled that I don't enjoy the planters too. I do, but I know that some don't.
So for those that want something heftier, they may have to wait for awhile until these get a little more growth on them. The same is probably true for most of the small reservoirs that have been stocked this month. I know that a lot of them have new fishies.
Those little buggers sure jump and fight like champions though. I thought for sure several times that I had a fish on that was twice its size. Fun!
FlyGoddess, I didn't see a single carp on this trip. I motored two miles up the reservoir before I was about out of time and turned around. For the carp I think I would have had to go up at least another mile to get up into the weed flats.
I was kind of looking to see if I could catch something besides the trout. There used to be Largemouth, crappie, and perch in Stone, but I heard rumors that it was drawn down all the way about 5 or 6 years ago. There still might be some in there but I didn't catch any this time. I fished everything from 6 inches to 20 feet, but I am not very good at convincing LM to play, so I will try for them again sometime.
The water temp was 60 degrees and most of the trout I caught were in about 15 ft of water.
