Well, the blue skies and little wind were less than desirable conditions but my father and I decided to head over the pass to fish the salty pond. We got there at approximately 5 am to get our spot. The fish decided to give a show for about 30 minutes from 6:30-7am and were rolling on the top of the water. It was truly a sight to see.

My father hooked a fish during this time and it was a toad. Unfortunately, his line twisted around the reel handle and the leader broke as the fish went on a major run. Heartbreaking but it happens. I also hooked a fish but it popped off.

Then fishing slowed down until about 11:00am and then I caught a smaller Pilot on a midge. The fish was pretty.

The wind finally picked up from 1:30-3pm. This is when I caught my toad on a balanced leech. It was a fun fight!

My dad got a smaller fish later in the day but that was it for us. The fishing was difficult but I am glad we landed one DD. Until next time!
