Seasonal Hole

Many holes fish differently from spring to summer.

This is one of those holes.

By the end of May this hole is clogged with weeds and

nearly unfishable.

I have caught sweet fish in here in the early season and

been skunked in June and September here.

Mark a hole like this in your fishing log as a

“Seasonal Hole”

Nice looking water Len, enough deep water to hold some big ones. I really enjoy the pictures.

Why did we catch 5 trout out of this hole in September

and ZERO in March?

Maybe they were feeding for winter and in march they weren’t feeding yet, maybe the mink got them. I know mink are big feeders in open water and its one of thier dinner tables. I watched a very small mink about 8″ long tail and all, come out of a trout stream once with a small rainbow in its mouth. I walked across the stream and walked up behind it and placed my foot on the tail of this 3 inch trout. The mink wouldn’t let go and tried pulling it out from beneath my shoe. I wouldn’t let him have the trout, he walked off about 10′, turned around and came back and tried to take the trout out from under my foot again, this time I let him have it. Mink are very aggresive and if they can find a place to feed on fish they will, and a steady supply of fish is ideal for them, thats why thier around water alot, they are very good swimmers and divers.
