Something's fishy

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we are in the process of remodeling our fishing pond at work.  Here is a photo from 2010, it's looking to the south west.

Here is the pond yesterday looking due west.  The tree in the upper left corner is the same one that is just left of center in the above photo.
My coworker went and started up the pump to finish this last puddle of water.  She had already taken numerous rainbow trout and relocated them as the pond got to this point.  We assumed there were no fish left in this puddle.  Low and behold she pulled 23 more trout out.  She relocated 15 of them and gave me 8 to take home for dinner.  The 8 she gave me were between 12-15", not to shabby for no effort at fishing.  We cleaned them last night and I skinned them this morning.  I took 2 to my boss and put 4 in the freezer.  I was going to cook the other two tonight, but I am coming down with Dustin's bug and didn't feel up to cooking so we went out.

  2. That's my kind of fishing too. Except for the fact that I would have someone else prepare it since the gutting and skinning isn't really my thing!

    Have a great weekend!
