I made it out to Lake Nimrod to join no other than Nimrod himself. Basically, it was everything I thought it would be but slower. I think it was just the day, though, as a lot of others were saying they had a hard time as well.

First off, this lake is no joke. Fishing was "slow", but we did catch around 120 for the day, and kept our 40 fish, all over 10", with about 6 in the 13-15". We fished 10 hours and probably 35-40 spots to catch em' but it was definitely worth it. Nimrod knows almost every stick in that body of water!

Just like i had always heard, the lake was not loaded with big fish, but I became a firm believer that there is a really large population of crappie in there. The interesting thing to me is that even though we caught about 30-40% black crappie, they only made up about 5% of our keeper fish. It must be the dingy water, I guess.

I had a really good time, and Nimrod was a great host. Besides sending me home with a gallon and a half of filets, he sent me home with a bonus bucket full of tomatoes form his garden. I hope everybody else has as much fun out there as I did. I'd really like to come back when the fishing was a bit quicker.
