    Default Have NEVER Caught A Fish In This Hole



    I have fished this hole for 3 years now. I have caught fish above and below this specific hole. I have NEVER had a bite in this hole.

    I have had friends with that have pounded this hole.

    No one can crack the code.

    The last time I fished it I finally made excuses for not catching anything in there.

    The guy I was with laughed.

    I said maybe some worm dunkers fished it hard and that is why there are no fish in here. My friend dismissed that notion. He said it was way too remote and the weeds were not knocked down to explain that excuse.

    We were walking out and my buddy said: "The only logical reason for no trout to be in that hole is because there is "ONE" huge dominant trout in that hole that eats or scares away others and is as smart as they come and only feeds nocturnally."

    I like his reasoning.

    That's what I was going to suggest as well. One BIG resident fish.

    The water looks reasonably clear...have you SEEN any fish here?

    And there's nobody home just to the right of that big old tree (looking at it from this advantage) and that bush? Wow ... sure looks fishy in there!
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Sounds like it might be a good hole to snorkel through some time.

    the potential of a big fish is there.



    This trout was caught just 40 yards downstream under a downed tree and the stream there is 4 feet wide there at best.

    I will take an extreme position of saying maybe there's no fish in the hole. There could be something under the water that prevents fish from inhabiting this section of the waterway. Or a swamp witch got broke off there and cast a spell on it. You know any lady fisherman named Betty, is have been told swamp witches are usually name that, in your area.

    Catfish ... one large catfish sitting at the bottom.
