Fishing in Ogden

We went to the Cold Springs Trout Farm in North Ogden. It was a great "first time fishing experience" for the kids.

There were seven ponds that were fully stocked with rainbow and brown trout.


The rods were basic rods, no reel, just about 4 feet of line and a hook with a piece of leather on it (which the fish thought was a pellet of fish food).


Alex was the first kid to catch a fish...


... and then he pulled in a second one which Grandpa tried to get him to pose by.


Aimee kept pulling in the small ones. She got 3 total.


Aaron caught a 12" fish. He caught a total of 4 fish.


Alex, Aaron, Tyson, Jill and Kerry helped the kids fish.


Fish food was 25¢ a cup. Those feeder fish just loved to jump at it. You'ld swear they didn't feed these fish.

Through the combined efforts of Mike and Tyson, they netted a 13" fish (the biggest of the day). Mike held the line just above the water and Tyson tossed fish food at the hook. Within seconds the big fish we were after jumped and caught the hook.


We told the kids to avoid the mud... but Alex found out he was in it a little too late. He got both feet stuck in the thick mud and sunk to his ankles, freaked out and sat down. Luckily Dad was a feet behind him and pulled him out before there was too much trauma.
