FYI, the retention pond in Hobble Creek Canyon is currently filling and has been stocked recently. I had some appointments in Springville today, so I stopped by.
Originally, I thought the creek sounded nice, but then I saw that the pond had some water and the inlet was running clear.
Casting a gold Blue Fox was the ticket and I got bumps or hookups on almost every cast. It was amusing enough to stay for over 20 fish. Still only stopped for about a half hour.

My camera battery died just as I was setting up to record some video footage of the weirdo in the dress shirt/slacks/tie wearing my big ridiculous sun hat, catching fish after fish. Oh well.
A couple of the fish were slightly larger than the average catch. Pushing 14" max.
Oh yeah, earlier in the day while killing time between appointments, I found some pretty rainbows too.
Never underestimate a culvert. It almost felt like a lunch break again.

This one thought it was a lot bigger than it was.

Just a heads up. Happy Fishing, Humans.
