Went out for a preview of Merwin as I'll be there for a 3-day fishing trip soon. It was the day of the derby, but we didn't participate.

Within 5 minutes we got one VERY small Kok and let it go at the boat. Fishing seemed like it would be hot!

We got nothing the rest of the morning. Not even bites! Used all sorts of strategies, depths, gear... even switched out the shoepeg for pink maggots. Nothing!

The many other boats around us did not seem to be doing particularly hot either. Did anyone do well that day? 5/12? Hopefully we can make it work a bit better for the upcoming trip.

All in all, it was a beautiful day out on Merwin... but, man the fishing was tough! Did any of you fair better?
