I don't know if I have mentioned this, but I help out as a camp host in a local campground in Logan Canyon, UT. One day while I was cleaning picnic sites at 2nd dam I met a little blond lady while she was fishing. Logan Canyon's 2nd dam is a small reservoir located about 2 miles up the scenic Logan Canyon. It's stocked with rainbow and has native browns, brook and even a few albino trout.
The bait used on the dam is salmon eggs, power bait, night crawlers and hamburger. With the right combination of bait a person can have a lot of fun. The little blond that I met has the bait combination down pat. I watch her pull in one fish after another. She catches and releases so on a good day she'll catch 20 to 30 fish.
I have watched as others around her tried to figure out her bait combination, and as they get frustrated they walk away while mumbling obscenities out loud and under their breath. This little girl just laughs.
She told me this story one day after I found some damage in the picnic area. One of the rails on the fence was broken. She said " I was fishing and this couple who were walking their dog and who were somewhat over weight stopped to watch me. As they watched they decided to lean against the rail fence while they watched. As they settled on the one rail it suddenly snapped and the man fell on his back with his arms and legs flailing in the air. By the time his wife got him back on his feet their dog had run clear down to the end of the boardwalk." My blond friend had to turn around while she laughed at the sight of this man laying on his back trying to get himself upright.
Well I hope we all have fun fishing, so stay upright and catch the big one, and if you don't then tell everyone you did!
