Fished Maramec Spring Park Friday 9-4-09

[Bman]

I was surprised to find hoards of Rainbow fingerlings throughout the whole park! I made a complete lap around the park, and found them everywhere. They make it difficult, but not impossible to catch a decent sized fish. Probably one of the best chances to catch a larger fish is to get there early to catch a stupid fresh stocker. I tried to spot fish a few of the bigger fish, but the fingerlings would grab it from in front of their nose!

I caught a few bigger fish by fishing really deep, with bigger flies.

I should have looked for some hatchery folk to ask what happened, but didn't.

Anyone have a clue?

I was told that construction of raceways and a new lake or pond was ongoing on the upper end. Sounds like a mishap may have occurred.
