I'm happy to say that I have finally shrugged an old "curse"!
I'm sure plenty of you know the Murdock Diversion Dam in Provo Canyon, right? It's that first retention pond next to a couple of parks just inside the canyon.
I've fished that place over and over and over, but have never had so much as a nibble there. I've caught plenty of fish below it and some above, but never in that pond.
Well, today was this dog's day and I managed to miss a couple of good bites and then connect on a couple.
First one came from my Lucky Craft lure (that cost me $15) and as I was getting that one off, I scored one on my other rod with a night crawler!
The one on the crawler was a bit bigger at 17 inches and the one on the Lucky Craft was about 14.
I hadn't planned on keeping any today, but the lure did some damage to the smaller one and the bigger one swallowed the worm pretty deep.
Aw well. I'll just have to eat them tonight so I can keep a big bow from Yuba tomorrow. :twisted: I hope I can get into some trout at Yuba.
Here's a pic of today's catch (dinner):
