Went out to the bear river bird refuge to fish for some cats. Wasn't sure what to expect seems how i've never been out there before. Caught 6 small cats in about an hour and a half (7:35-8:50 P.M.) and couldn't set the hook on a handfull or so. Had a good time. I used a plain old worm and bobber and played around with the depth. Best Depth was about 4 or 5 feet under bobber, but i did have hits between 1 foot and 4 or 5 feet. Sorry no pictures didn't have a camera with me.

hey duck duck... the spot u fished out in the refuge wasnt the main river it is just a canal, and about a quarter mile upstream from where u were fishing that canal the gates are closed... keep driving further out and fish the main river channel.... believe me when u see the river u will know it.. its about 6 times the size of the canal u fished.... that canal sure is chuck full of dinker cats tho!!! i take my lil brother and sister to that one and let them knock the crap outta the lil cats and the carp... the main river has the big boys... if u can figure out where to fish u will catch some beasts!! here is a few pics...
