Quick Stop at Guy B Park

While I was dropping off a sign at a house up north, I decided to make a quick stop out at that Guy B. Park, just north of Platte City. This was on Friday, 3-15-13, when it was such a nice day got up to 80 degrees. When I got there, one fisherman was on shore and one was on a boat. The water was pretty clear and didn't look too bad, so I tried a little shore fishing up by the dock. Didn't have any luck so I went over to the dam. I was also closer to the guy in the boat and I saw him land 4 fish in about 20 minutes. I was about ready to give up and blame the time of year or the lack of being in a boat when I caught 1 Largemounth, about 14 inches (see picture). So I was quite content with such beautiful weather and decided to call it a day.

Bennett Spring Trout Opener 3-01-2013

Ron and I had an enjoyable but pretty cold Trout Season opener this year at Bennett Spring. They had gotten quite a bit of rain recently and a little bit of snow, which helped drought conditions as well as helped the stream levels. It was 24 degrees on Friday, the opener, and 27 the next day, along with some wind and light snow. That was probably why the opening fisherman count was way down at 1,338 as opposed to the expected 2,300. This was one of the 2 or 3 coldest openers that I've attended. We took pictures at the opening whistle, which was at 6:30 and sounded by local Don Brown who has apparently seen 56 previous openers. There was also some changes in the park by the dam this year, as they opened a new wheelchair ramp and new pier. Later on the opening day when it thinned out, we fished some and probably caught around 16 rainbow trout. The next morning we got out at 7:30 and it was very cold. I got skunked this time, although Ron caught a trout. Most of the Liberty gang made it down as usual, and even managed to canoe the river one day. I'm also working on a short video.
A few pictures are included below and the rest are here:
