Hardwater and I spent a fun day at Mantua yesterday. Nothing like when I was there a couple of weeks ago, catching several bass, a few perch and wearing my arm out on bluegill. I love fishing ultralite - and eating 'gills - so it was a ball.
Yesterday we caught a bunch of bluegill on worm tipped jigs and Hardwater took about 40 of the largest home to feed the kids. We also tried for bass, but no takers although we saw quite a few inspecting our offerings. Only one other boat and a couple of tubers on the water while we were there. I think I have a new favorite fishing hole.
Being a transplanted Southerner I love having warm water fisheries available. For the first 10 years in Utah everyone tried to convince me catching trout was fun (which I'll admit it is in the back country). Now I'm starting to make converts to real fish.
