Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I went to locust shade pond for some urban trout fishing on Wed afternoon since VDGIF stocked it on the 20th (Tue).  I learned my lesson several years ago to not go on stocking day because it gets crowded and is always a disappointment.  Well, the trend continued with a sad outing.  I was the only one along with another fisherman on the other side of the small lake to catch a trout.  Others I talked too had been there since 8 am and had only gotten a nibble.  So, I packed up and went over to quantico to do a little scouting of their trout waters.  No luck there either, but the scenery was much better.  Here are a few pics with no fish pics! haha

And then I saw this little fella swimming around.....only about 15-17 inches long total with tail...on the small side and very active.
