Making lure sample packs for fellow Walakers has kept me pretty busy lately, so when I ran out of a couple of essential lure componenets, I hopped in the truck and headed to Yakima to stock up. I couldn't resist the fishin' itch, so I headed down to Myron Pond to Field test out a new Cajun/Green Damzel Nymph Jig. All I can say is it was hella cold and nasty out there today. It was a fateful trip because I met Gordy Chin, master jig fly maker and as far as I can tell, a new fishing partner and lure making enthusiaist. No one else seemed to be having any luck, so Gordy and I went down by the logs on the East end and I demonstrated to him how the Nymph jig looked in the water. After about 10 minutes, a 17 to 18" Triploid trout tatered my Jig! After a brief fight, I got her up to the bank but I tried to lift the fish up a little to much and she broke off, taking my jig with her! I chatted with Gordon for a 1/2 hour or so and exchanged jigs and phone numbers. Later ,after he went home, I tried the trash can hole and on my second cast I hooked another big Triploid trout. I ended up retaining her when she rolled on the ground while I tried to release it.( Poor thing looked like a dirt covered Granola bar...) so I ended up keeping her. But it was the Big crappie near the same spot that inhaled a 3" Stone dragun jig that got me all excited! 5 big crappie in 15 minutes, all around 10". I kept that 17" triploid and my mess of crappie and headed home with a smile on my face. As far as I know, i was the only one to score any fish while I was at Myron Today today. Now back home to making my majical Nymph jigs for my Bros! Jiggy
