Checked the stocking report and they planted half as many bows in garden city pond as they did in Hyrum this year... Like GC pond is tiny, Hyrum is well over a hundred times the size and they planted 9000 ish in Hyrum and 5000+ in GC pond.... Really????? No wonder Hyrum isn't fishing like it used to... At least they planted bigger fish in September that should be good come the ice season... However, with the number of ice fishermen there, that will be about 5 fish each... Good thing I don't keep my fish so maybe I can catch them twice... Oh better yet they planted more rainbows in Wellsville pond than in Hyrum last year, like a thousand more.... Guess we need to start fishing the community ponds... What is the rationale for not planting the real lakes???? I assume they think you have to have a boat to fish the lakes, but they forget how popular the ice fishing is and how many people it draws....
So am I missing something? I've never fished the community ponds, do a lot of folks fish them? Why are they putting so many fish in them...

Sounds good Lance, Is Rockport similar to Echo, so it may be starting to cap as well? I haven't ever fished Rockport, but was going to try and give a hand with the perch fest in January so I need to figure out where to go and what to do up that way... Thanks for your update... Jeff
