Talking Fishing in the desert.

We found a water treatment facility where we were at. They had a holding tank that they used to water trees. This thing was full of fish. If you threw a piece of bread in the water would boil. We didn't eat them of course, but had a time catching them. The guy who ran the treatment plant would come down and see what we were up to, we'd give him a cigar & he'd be happy. By 9AM it was too hot to fish though.

Hi Miss,
I got home about 10 days ago. I don't know what kind of fish it was. Looked like a Bass Hybrid. We started out using dental floss, paper clip and bubble gum. We got a hold of some fishing line, hooks, and used corn from the chow hall. Just bait up and throw the line in.

Water treatment plant you say. You didn't catch any finless browns did you?

Nope! Actually the water was pretty clean. But still a treatment plant. There had to be something to the fish living in there. None had 3 eyes
