Frances Short Pond
Incredible Day Of Fishing At Francis Short Pond! This was our first time fishing here. I caught & released 19 beautiful Rainbow Trout… Ranging from 14 to 23 inches. My friend caught & released 12 Rainbow Trout… Ranging from 13 to 15 inches. All fish caught on Crappie Tubes, Split-Tail Grubs and Super Duper lures. As I was trying to lift the 23 inch Rainbow Trout out of the water after measuring it, the trout thrashed around and broke the line, then swam off (no picture). A long handle net is a must in order to bring in the larger fish up from the steep rocky bank! Here is a picture of one of my 17″ trout. Weather Conditions: Cool & cloudy. Water Conditions: Muddy
