http://www.ndow.orgAnglers of all sizes took advantage of the long weekend to cast a line for trout at the urban ponds. For trout think small when it comes to your bait presentation, hooks should be size 16 or smaller. A trio of anglers reeled in about three dozen fish at Veterans Memorial Park while fishing number 18 Copper Johns about three feet below a strike indicator. Though the catching was slow, anglers also found some success with PowerBait and a variety of spinners and lures. When catch and release fishing use barbless hooks and handle the fish as little as possible. Don't use a towel or cloth to hold them.
