I was on the water by 10:30a. A few were on the dock and fishing was slow. After picking Rob's brain for a bit, he put me in the direction directly across from the resort..the water is deeper there he said, and that is where I would find some nice trout. I ended up catching 1, but the bite was slow and several passer bys said they hadn't caught anything either..I decided to troll w/Macks Lure, gold blade and red band..nothing..I even tried silver/blue kwikfish and nothing..I know of a spot kitty corner from the resort that never fails..I ended up with 2 other nice ones right before I had to return the boat rental...I stopped by the dock and talked to several people and the most exciting thing was the otter grabbing a guys fish...the other picture is of my son from Long's Pond in lacey..
ps, these trout were filleted into small slivers and crusted with panko. I fried them golden brown and put them into a soft tortilla...fresh trout taco..and fresh pico de gallo!

Nice trout for the boy there. Is Long's Pond the one behind the Community Center right there on Pacific as you drive from Lacey towards Yelm? Is that a youth only fishing hole? I have never seen anyone fishing it if it's the one I am thinking of.

Thank you! Long's pond (lake) is juvenile only.. I have seen several adults fishing there though...no one was catching anything except my son. If you have a juvenile let me know and I can fill you in on the secret there. My son always catches some there.

Jens, do you think you might be able to give me a little more info on Long's Pond (location/tips etc)? I have a 6 year old and 12 year old who I have been trying to get hooked up with some fish this summer and so far all I have to show for it is 1 perch and 2 small bass. My son's favorite fish is rainbow trout so it would be great if there was a pond nearby that I could take him to. I live in Yelm.
