II was there fly fishing on Wendsday C&R 25. I went back Thursday and C&R a dozen or so. I went today and managed to C&R 6. It was pretty tuff fly fishing weather today. Will probly be there Saturday morning at least.
natro said:Well went out today and lost 3, but caught a carp. Wasn't expecting that LOL. I didn't know those were in AB. Got to meet troutdude and lilsalmon. Don't think I'll head out there tomorrow.
lilsalmon said:That was a hoot watching your lines across the whole pond with the fish in the middle.....and the carp...wow...It was great meeting you natro. We did have a fun day....I only got the one..was going to have to do my here fishy fishy trout dance but I thought I would spare all in sight and especially troutdude as he had to ride back to JC with me...hehe...instead I opted for this.......kind of like crossing my fingers.....I really need to get out more....:lol: :lol: :lol:
TTFishon said:So was that you out on the island? I fished the big pond in the very back for about a half hour and caught one on a thomas.
lilsalmon said:That was me and troutdude....big pond in the back....I'm not familiar with the area but dang...we were talking about the thomas yesterday with natro.....I found one at the rest area one time and lost it there a couple weeks later.....I want to go to the canal again...there is so much area to fish....didn't try the fly rod...was a bit windy for that. Too bad we didn't say hey.....I hope you didn't witness my casts with TD's rod that we put my reel on....was quite entertaining...course I blamed it on the new reel and unfamiliar setup....if you can't have fun..no sense going out...:lol:
TTFishon said:I would've stopped to say hi but it was raining pretty hard and I was already soaked and wussed out and didn't want to get back in the rain. Here's a google link to where I fished. The pond where I was is in the lower right. You guys were at the top left. I like the other pond because there's less people, I was the only one there, and there aren't a bunch of ducks and geese leaving their droppings everywhere. Anyway, here's the link.

lilsalmon said:That must have been the one downpour we had. The island was like a mine field with all the droppings. TD showed me the radio tower pond as we were leaving. Think I will try that one next.

When I first fished anywhere at ABC (in February), it was the radio tower pond. I fished on the point, on the stadium side, of the inlet. I was there for two hours, and the area had been stocked only 2 days before.
I saw fish swirling on the surface and some jumping. So, they were there. So, for two hours I tried Power Eggs, Bubble and Flies, Pautkze's salmon eggs, Kastmaster, Rooster Tails, Bang Tails, etc etc. Nothing!
So, I then went to the I-5 spillway and drifted Power Eggs. Caught 4! From there I went to the "outflow" pond, with all of the bird poop. Caught 5 there!
Did I just have a weird experience, when I first fished the radio tower pond?
