From the river I was able catch an appx. 9" Rainbow Trout and a 13" Walleye. Both fish were released without any unnecesary injury. I fished for about 4.5 hours on the river from shortly before 11AM. I used nightcrawlers for bait.
I also spent about a half hour on the pond, also using nightcrawlers and caught a 14" Catfish, that one was a fighter. Also released with minimal injury.
I did loose my SOG Powerlock Multi-tool in the Farmington River, getting my terminal tackle and the trout unstuck from some wood growth (not if it was branches or root tips)- that was a downer, but I have since replaced it. I wish there was a way to dummy cord it to myself. The current took it pretty quick.
For sinkers I used non-lead split shot- they seem to be better than the "Bullet Weights" that I was using before. #4 hooks, Eagle Claw, Bronze.
I would have taken pictures, but I forgot my camera. [
