Hobbs Pond!?! - Kevin_VanDam - 09-23-2011
Did anyone else see the blurb in Wednesday's outdoor section about stocking Hobbs Pond with trout and turning it into a community fishery? I've always thought it would be a great place for trout because of the cool mountain stream it's fed by. Never thought they would open it up to fishing though because of a drowning accident a few years back. There will also be a length limit requiring all fish above 12" inches to be released. I think that's a great idea because it will let the larger fish grow to a quality size. Wish they had the same regulation on largemouth bass at other community ponds (cough......Holmes Creek......cough). I also wish they'd stop stocking trout at Holmes Creek because it's not an ideal habit for them; It's better suited for warm water species. Oh well, Holmes Creek's glory days are now part of the history books. Guess I'll just have to accept that
fact. Anyway what are your thoughts on this new fishery? I think the more the merrier. Now if they could just get their hands on Adam's Pond in Layton...I'm thinking northern pike and crappie.[
