No bogarting done, I enjoy reading about other people slaughtering them.
I found a little "pond" off of 35th S and I dunno, but it was just west of the Jordan river and stopped for 30 minutes or so today. The water is actually pretty clear, and you can see some TANKS in there. I couldn't get anything to hit a fly, but that's because I spooked them pretty badly upon arrival. I'm sure some of you have driven by this place many times, and there are signs of fisherman all over -- but if you're out and about in the middle of the day, it's a good challenge to try and sneak up on those monsters.
I also spooked about 10,000 juvenile fish, which I assumed were carp. They were perfectly blended in with the bottom when I came strolling up and they didn't spook until I started wingin' my wand around -- but damn, when they took off, it looked like the pond was boiling for the next thirty seconds. Pretty awesome, really. I don't think we'll have any problems catching carplets this fall...
