Well, I've been continuing to fish my UL gear and catching as many small LMB as I can. My fishing buddies are also helping out. We figure we've harvested about 12lbs so far.

We're not really weighing and measuring like I know were supposed to but we email each other with the reports and we've taken out about 15 fish in the last 10 days.

Some have been "released in the grease" as they say and others have been given new homes in the creek on the other side of our dam - it's the same water.

We're going to keep it up until we can get about 50 LMB or about 40 pounds harvested. We didn't really harvest anything last year though we knew we probably should. So, we think we're playing catch-up on our harvest (though any pond expert will probably tell us that we really aren't). We've all just been so busy this summer that we haven't put in the efforts we should have.


If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?
