According to the Trout Stocking Report, several local ponds in Falmouth were stocked on March 7th with Brook Trout. Friday morning on March 10th I decided to try my luck at one of those ponds. The weather forecast predicted very cold temperatures over the weekend that might cause a new layer of ice to form on the smaller ponds. It was snowing pretty hard so I decided to fish at Grew’s Pond in Goodwill Park. This park has very good public access.
Made a few casts with a gold Little Cleo spoon. Spoons are a good choice when trying for recently stocked trout. Next I used half of a night crawler below a weighted sliding bobber. Also a good method for new stockies. Didn’t catch the Brook Trout I was hoping for, but before too long I landed two nice plump Rainbow Trout. Not a bad way to start the Spring open freshwater fishing season.
