to let all know... i waited around for 35 minutes LOOKING for a spot... this small pond is full to the brim with cats and trout....but there is no where to fish for them.... any way i risked walking out on a log that was on top of the reeds.... just to get my cat bait in there... a few minutes of balancing on a wet log.... and whamm cute little 17 inch channel.. and a nice soaking.... i set the hook and fell backwards off the log,,,, yea water up to my waiste.... suckes..
so i was done fishing off of this log... i was walkin around lookin for an opening... and i met TRollinfool??? is that right.. i thinks so... anyway he squose himself and his kids between the other 20 poeple fishing this 30foot open bank..... finally a spot opens up back in the "kitty" corner... so i slide up in there and sink some bait...
left an hour after dark.... I caught 6 channel cats all from 17 to 24inches... and my buddy caught 4 channels all the same size range... i also cuaght two rainbows and a brook trout ???? on chunks of chub??? not sure why they hit it but... hey i didnt care...!!!

Nice fish. Can you use wader or tube to avoid the traffic?

When me and yper were there last week, i fished for bass first off with a 3" Riverside paddletail bass jig and caught a big brookie. I caught another one later on a large worm. They are very agressive, and very ugly!

It was good ta meet ya, glad you got into em. We fought with the crowd for a bit but finally got fed up with all the tangles and called it a night. The only time i've had to deal with combat fishing like that is up steelheading on the salmon river! Oh well another time, mabey my boys can reel in a couple of those big cats HEHE! Cya round.[

Nice Utcatman, sounds like an overcrowded local pond. Where is Glassmans Pond, anywhere near Salt Lake?[

Thanks for the link.
There are far more little fishing holes around here than I knew of.
Looks like some good places to that the grandkids when they are here.

I was talking to a guy from the DWR, and he swears up and down that they are actually LAKE TROUT in Glassmans. I know that sounds ridiculous, but that's what he said.

I grew up swimming and fishing in that pond. Of course that was long before there were any houses around it. I've attached a KMZ file for anyone that has Google Earth installed. Google Earth will fly you right to the pond if save the KMZ file to your hard disk and then double-click it.
