Trout fishing
Last Wednesday, I got an email alert that the Maryland Dept of Natural Resources (DNR) stocked Myrtle Grove Pond with 1,200 rainbow trout. I texted my fishing buddy Jane and we decided to go fishing the next day. It took me about 50 minutes to get to the Myrtle Grove Wildlife Management Area which is located in LaPlata, MD. The weather was nicely warm and sunny. When I got there at 11:30 am, the DNR truck was on the ramp releasing another 200 trout.
It did not take us too long to catch our limit that afternoon! I filleted the trout and gave them away to friends and neighbors.
The DNR also stocked two ponds in Bowie. This afternoon I took the 10-minute drive over to Governor's Bridge Pond to see if I can get a couple of the 400 rainbow trout released last week. Took me about 90 minutes to catch my limit of 2 nice sized trout. I kept these for myself, pan fried them and had one for dinner. Jane and I plan to go to Myrtle Grove again on Thursday, when the temperature is expected to go up to the mid-60s.
