Tingley Beach - March 6, 2009


I fished Tingley's catch and release pond from about 6:35 until 11:00 AM. I actually hadn't planned on staying that long, but the fishing was good and never really slowed down. The only reason I left when I did was because I had other stuff I had to attend to that day.

I fished with an ultralight spinning rod and reel (Okuma) with 4 lb. test. I was throwing a rig with two of my infamous hand-tied trout pellet flies on a three foot (Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon 4lb) leader behind a bunjee bubble half filled with water.

I didn't count the number of fish I caught, but it had to be over 50; mostly rainbow trout, with a few golden trout here and there. The biggest was about 16 inches. I talked to someone there who said they had been feeding them just about everyday. I think they were primed and ready for my pellet flies. Great fun.
