Dove Creek Ranch

Yesterday Garrett and I decided to fish this private ranch called dove creek. They have a website that I stumbled upon a few weeks ago at www.trophytroutschool.com. This is a small pond that is stocked full of trophy rainbows and tiger trout. We fished for a few hours and hooked a few however we were only able to land one, which is the picture above. The rainbow above was caught on a pregnant scud, and we had bites on chironomids and various dries including an ant that Garrett threw out and I even had one eat my indicator while fishing chironomids. The water was not very deep this time of year and the fish were really spooky. There were definitely some pigs in this pond which made it very hard to call it quits. The good and bad part of this trip was that you could see just about every fish that you were casting to and they were all big fish. I am a sucker for sight fishing, which is probably why I will go back and give this pond another try.
