Notes
Wind blew all day. We fished two ponds in Custer State Park and French Creek.
Caught small rainbows in the pond. Caught the Creek Chub, in French Creek and caught the Bkuegill in Stockade Lake. Don, took the picture of me with the near record Creek Chub.
My dog Kenia, ran all day, was in and out of the water, gathered burrs and mud, big time. He like to spot fish and when he does, he barks until I cast to them. On one occasion I caught a rainbow and when the hooh was removed it fliped onto the ground, Kenia, picked it up and gentaly held it as if he was retrieving a bird, Kenia, is a Cavlier King Charles.
