I was in the mood to catch something after getting skunked my last two trips out. So I headed out to Wilson Ponds in Nampa to have some fun with the stocker trout.
I fished in the littlest pond, from a little after 6 until dark and got a limit of dinky 9 inchers. But it was fun to catch them. They were all hooked right in the lip and released. I was really tempted to sneak them over into the trophy pond, where they'd at least get a chance to grow up a little.
The magic combination seemed to be a Berkley Power Honey Worm fished about 16" under a bobber. Usually I'd get a bite within a few minutes. If you want to relax and bring a kid or two who don't care about size to get some fish, the trout are there and willing.
