Unique Winter Colors

[gillchaser999]

I picked my brother up today and took him to a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) that has a shooting range and a (PFA) Public Fishing Area .
We shot a few rimfire handguns for a couple hours, the I got to fish for about 30 minutes without any expectations of catching anything .
My fun guns today was , a 4” Barrel Ruger Mark II 22/45 , a Ruger SR22 , a Ruger Single Nine , and a Ruger Single Six Bisley .
The Single action Revolvers were my favorites.

For the Fishing :
I used a Major Craft Finetail Glass Trekking rod paired with a Shimano Soare bb500spg and 2# P-line CXX moss green line .
Lure was a 4.6mm Tungsten jig with a mini trout magnet .

After a few casts around the dock area , I got to thinking about what water might warm the quickest with the 72 degree high temperature today , and decided to try the small catfish pond ( maybe an acre) that connects by a large diameter underground PVC pipe to the lake of about 200 acres .

In about fifteen minutes I caught three cold bluegills that looked washed out . Still pretty IMO .
Wished I had more time to fish , but the ride home was over two hours .
I almost skipped the fishing altogether because of the low night temps lately .
Glad I didn’t
