I heard they planted 1000 legals in Pond 3 so my wife and I showed up there a little after 7:00 am on Saturday. There was no-one at Pond 3, but we tried it anyway for about 3 hours and didn't even get a bite on worms, Powerbait and several different spinners.
Finally checked out all the commotion at Pond 6 and learned it had also been stocked on Friday and the bite was on!. We moved over there and within a couple hours my wife caught 4, all on white Powereggs. Just before it started a wind whipped deluge of rain and hail, I caught one myself and we got out of there.
Just as we were making our move to Pond 6 one fisherman was leaving with a nice limit, including a couple well over 12 inches. He told us he caught them all on a gold colored Kastmaster. Meanwhile over at Pond 3 it seemed like the fish were pretty lethargic, perhaps stuffed on runoff worms from the recent rains. I didn't see a fish caught out of #3 all day.
Overall I was impressed with St. Louis Ponds. There are some recently installed paved sidewalks that make for increased access. Given this past week's major rainstorms, the ponds were in pretty good shape and fishing not bad.
