Tallahassee Trout
What a great day! You guys know I work on most weekends. So we took today as a "Saturday."
My wife packed a picnic lunch and we drove out to the Doctors spring fed trout pond.
Its $25 a day to fish- Fly Fishing only, barbless hooks and catch and release. Unless you gut hook a trout and then you can take it home.
It was a cloudy day so I figured the fish should bite all day- we got there about 10am.
We were greeted by his ferocious guard dogs...
I rigged up under the oaks while Jessi set up our lunch. Broke in my NFGF Hat!
I used my 4wt with a 3lb tippet- Started out with a hopper / cricket imitation because I could see fish striking the top.
Look at that form! First time I have used my fly rod in almost two years.
After several missed fish I pulled out my secret magic fly and started catching fish.
Dang these fish pulled on my little 4wt!
Total for the day (10am - 3pm)
At least 10 trout way over 10 nice bream, didn't get a photo but some of them were big.
And a great lunch prepared by my wife!
We took home a couple of fish that were hooked bad- Had one for dinner last night!
Dang I'm a lucky man!

Looks like a great time Barry. Thanks for sharing
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Re: Tallahassee Trout
Some friends and I attempted to go out there last Sunday. We had not done our research and showed up with spinning outfits. Needless to say, we did not get to fish. I always thought this elusive trout pond was a myth. Good to see that you caught a mess.

Is that your "secret" fly to your left?
Nice going Bman you looked like you needed a fix.

Re: Tallahassee Trout
Good deal BMan. I was reading about that pond last night. Looks like a great place.

Re: Tallahassee Trout
How does the pay system work. What I mean is, what if I want to take my son and/or daughter. If I cast the rod out for them and let strip it back and catch the fish, would I have to pay for each of us or just once? Could we take turns fishing with one rod?
Is there a number to call to set up appointments and ask these kind of questions?
Thanks.

Re: Tallahassee Trout

I was tempted but didn't do it.
2nd- the details.
Yes every person has to pay- kids included. so if you, your son and daughter go its $75
